NOW WE'RE TALKING! FROM THE PICKET LINE, THE DELANO STRIKER CAN ALMOST REACH OUT AND TOUCH THE STRIKEBREAKER PRUNING THE VINES ALONG THE ROADSIDE. BELIEVE ME, THE HUELGA MESSAGE IS BEING DELIVERED UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL.

HERE THE GROWER USES HIS CATERPILLAR TRACTOR AS A SHOW OF FORCE AGAINST THE PICKET LINE. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.

ON OCCASION THE GROWER WOULD DISPATCH A CATEPILLAR TRACTOR TO RUN CLOSE TO THE PICKET LINE. IT WAS AN ACT OF INTIMIDATION AND TO SHOW WHO WAS BOSS.

DELANO CA DID NOT RECEIVE MUCH RAIN AND NEVER ANY SNOW BUT DURING THE WINTER WAS PLAGUED BY TULE FOG SO THICK IT WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE SAFELY. TULE FOG COULD LAST FOR WEEKS AT A TIME AND OOZED A DAMP COLDNESS.
