On the outskirts of Rantoul, in east-central Illinois, about 100 migrant farmworkers are living at an old hotel in a sleepy part of town.<\/p>\n

Every day at the crack of dawn, Samuel Gomez and the rest of the crew get their temperatures checked on the way out the door. Most workers, donning masks, load onto a big yellow school bus for a 30-minute drive to a large warehouse, where they will spend the day sorting corn coming in on large conveyor belts.<\/p>\n

Gomez, who is from Mexico, is one of the lucky few with access to a car, so he drives to work with his dad and sister. He\u2019s been here all summer, starting in the field roguing corn \u2014 removing diseased and off-type corn plants to increase the quality of the crop. Since September, he\u2019s been working in the warehouse.<\/p>\n

In the U.S., an estimated\u00a0two to three million<\/span>\u00a0farmworkers plant, cultivate and harvest crops each year. Among them are migratory workers, like Gomez, who often leave behind family and friends for months at a time to find work that pays more than what they could earn back home.<\/p>\n

The long hours and physical demands make the job risky any year, but the coronavirus pandemic has made it even riskier. Outbreaks across the U.S. linked to farms have some worried about the lack of protections for workers, upon whom the nation relies for food.<\/p>\n

\"migrant,

\u2018It\u2019s not the same air I breathed last season\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gomez, 32, has been traveling to Illinois as a migrant worker for four years. When he\u2019s working in the warehouse, he says he earns $12 an hour cleaning and sanitizing the facility \u2014 about double what he could make working in retail in Mexico.<\/p>\n

Before he arrived in Illinois in June, he didn\u2019t know anyone who had contracted the coronavirus, so he says he wasn\u2019t too concerned.<\/p>\n

\u201cTruthfully, I was surprised when people would talk about it\u2026 It was something that didn\u2019t exist, until I realized that it did,\u201d Gomez says in Spanish.<\/p>\n

Since June, there have been 21 COVID-19 cases linked to the hotel where Gomez and an entire crew of migrant workers are living, according to the Champaign-Urbana Public Health District, which tracks COVID-19 cases across Champaign County. The hotel is tied for\u00a0third largest outbreak<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in the county, based on internal statewide public health data from July through September obtained by the Midwest Center for Investigative Reporting.<\/p>\n

When Gomez arrived and witnessed the outbreak first-hand, he says the threat became very real, and he and his colleagues started taking the requirement for mask-wearing, social distancing and hand hygiene more seriously.<\/p>\n

Gomez says the warehouse looks different this year with fewer workers to allow for enough spacing to keep everyone safe. He says everyone is masked, and in general, he feels safe.<\/p>\n

But he still worries about elderly workers, including his 66-year-old dad, because they share the same hotel room and work near each other.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worry about my dad because he\u2019s older,\u201d Gomez says. \u201cI\u2019m cautious for myself and for them. It\u2019s what I can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josh, 24, also works at the corn processing plant. He asked that we use only his first name because he fears retaliation. Josh is an American. Born and raised in Texas, he grew up in a migrant family as the oldest of four children. He wanted to study to become a medical assistant after high school but says when he graduated, his dad got sick and was unable to work. With his family in need of support, Josh now spends most of the year traveling around the country for work.<\/p>\n

He says being in Rantoul for the harvest season this year feels different. Since the outbreak, there\u2019s been less socializing: no cookouts or parties.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can smell the air in the mornings and it just feels way different,\u201d Josh says. \u201cIt\u2019s not the same air I breathed last season, you know, you feel it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also worries about COVID-19, but says he doesn\u2019t have a choice when it comes to work. His family depends on him, and he hopes to save up so that one day he may be able to go to college.<\/p>\n

\u201cEither I risk it all or nothing at all,\u201d he says. \u201cI want to leave something behind\u2026 I\u2019m not gonna give up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"migrant,

No choice but to work<\/strong><\/p>\n

Many migrant workers make double what they could at jobs closer to home. It\u2019s a prospect they simply can\u2019t turn down, says Sylvia Partida, CEO of the\u00a0National Center for Farmworker Health<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEconomic necessity\u2026 [is] what it comes down to,\u201d she says. \u201cThis is their work and they rely on this work to survive.\u201d<\/p>\n

For migratory workers like Samuel Gomez and Josh, Partida says the risk of contracting the coronavirus is heightened \u2014 they often travel in large groups, live in congregate housing and are unfamiliar with the local resources available to them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s been a lot of fear and a lot of uncertainty,\u201d she says. \u201c[They\u2019re] relying on organizations that might be able to assist them as they try to learn how to safeguard themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Partida\u2019s organization has been tracking COVID-19 outbreaks among migrant and seasonal farmworkers \u2014 who are largely\u00a0low-income and Latino<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u2014 around the country. So far,\u00a0outbreaks in 17 states<\/span>, including several in the Midwest, have been documented in media reports. But because there isn\u2019t an official tracking system in place, this unofficial count is likely an underestimation, Partida says.<\/p>\n

The Food and Environment Reporting Network, which keeps a tally of\u00a0COVID-19 outbreaks<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>across the nation\u2019s food system, reports more than 8,000 confirmed cases among U.S. farmworkers. Researchers from Purdue University, working in collaboration with Microsoft,\u00a0estimate<\/span>\u00a0that the true number of coronavirus cases among U.S. farmworkers is much higher \u2014 about 140,000 \u2014 a number they arrived at by applying county-level infection rates to the number of farmworkers and farmers believed to be working in those counties.<\/p>\n

In Illinois, COVID-19 cases among farmworkers are not closely tracked, but\u00a0a clinic<\/a><\/span>\u00a0that caters to migrant and seasonal farmworkers\u00a0reports<\/a><\/span> that out of roughly 1,700 people tested by its staff since the start of the pandemic, 14% \u2014 or more than 200 \u2014 were positive.<\/p>\n

Only\u00a011 states<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u2014 including Michigan, Wisconsin and Colorado \u2014 have mandatory regulations in place to protect farmworkers, according to an analysis from the Environmental Working Group. Many others have issued recommendations, Partida says, but she\u2019s concerned they lack penalties for those who do not follow them.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere isn\u2019t any enforcement; no accountability,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n

In some states, the risks to farmworkers are compounded by increasingly deadly natural disasters fueled by climate change, including\u00a0wildfires<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>in the West. Partida says many states don\u2019t include farmworkers in their emergency response plans.<\/p>\n

In order for farmworker protections to be guaranteed, she says the U.S. Departments of Labor and Agriculture would need to step up to implement enforceable guidelines.<\/p>\n

Until then, workers like Samuel Gomez and Josh will continue traveling to the next job and hoping for the best.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the risk we take as a migrant worker, to succeed in life,\u201d Josh says. \u201cBack in Texas, there\u2019s not a lot of hope. Up here there is hope for a better future.\u201d<\/p>\n
