"Adan" works under a UFW contract harvesting radishes. He appreciates the extras his contract provide to make the job more comfortable such as the yellow overalls and blue sleeve protectors that keep him dry from the moist dirt and leaves.

New Israeli barrier will slice through precious West Bank farmland
Palestinians who have worked the ‘breadbasket’ area for generations face being replaced by Israeli settlers The death knell for the Palestinian village of Atouf, on the western slopes of the Jordan valley, arrived in the form of a trail of paper, a series of eviction notices taped to homes, greenhouses and wells, marking a straight line across the open fields.
