Yep, I really did do all of those things ...... however, the picked agricultural products were to be analyzed for experimental pesticide residue, by the chemical company I was working for, as a research agronomist.

However, it did give me a small sample of what it must be like to be a migrant worker.

NO, I never planted trees for the CCC .....

After spending that long, I'm sure you might have learned a few things from those people that you could apply to yourself.
