“I started investigating the dynamics at play among the workforce on Delta farms because I knew it was more than just a lawsuit story,” reporter Sara DiNatale said. Learn more about her eight-month investigation.
She interviewed a dozen local and H-2A visa farm workers, including some currently living in South Africa.
What she discovered was alarming: At least five Delta farms paid their primarily Black local workforce less money per hour than temporary workers from other countries — most often, white men from South Africa. DiNatale contacted more than 30 farm owners throughout the Delta and spent time with veteran farmworkers. Her reporting was informed by interviews with agricultural academics from Alcorn State University, University of Arkansas and Tuskegee University, as well as researchers at the Economic Policy Institute. She attended a virtual session held by the Department of Labor meant to educate about farmworkers’ rights and missteps often made by farmers using the H-2A program.
