A majority of growers are not prepared to train farm workers regarding food safety and sanitation issues. In many instances, there is a language barrier between farmers and their employees. In fact, statistically the language most-often spoken by San Joaquin Valley farm workers is Spanish, with 87% of the labor force speaking Spanish, 8% speaking English, & 5% speaking Creole. As a result, farm workers, most often are entirely depend- on others to translate written and spoken words. In many instances, the cultural norms within these different groups, also clash with required food safety protocol.
