Twenty farmworkers in Caldwell were taken to the hospital with flu-like symptoms; the workers were clearly exposed to a chemical of some kind and the EPA is currently investigating the contaminations. Many of Idaho's farm workers are migrant seasonal employees — undocumented and frequently exploited.

We look at efforts to provide legal aid, healthcare and educational opportunities for Idaho's seasonal farm workers with Sonnay Alvarez with the Community Council of Idaho, Dunnia Aplicano, the state farmworker advocate with the Idaho Department of Labor and Luis Urias, a program manager with the state's Department of Agriculture.
