H-2A workers vital to Georgia peach industry
In Middle Georgia near Byron, five houses house 25 H-2A workers from Jalisco Mexico who travel 1743 miles yearly to pick peaches at Dickey Farms in Crawford County. The workers, about 60 employed by Dickey Farms and 400 in the region, support a Georgia peach crop worth around 50 million yearly.
