ENFIELD, Connecticut — Gerald Gray wakes up at 5:30 a.m. to prepare his meals for the long day in the fields as one of the 100 Jamaican workers employed by the Jarmoc family on the Jarmoc Farms tobacco fields.
The work is labor intensive and during August, temperatures have reached 100 degrees during the day in Enfield. But Gray and his fellow countrymen told The Courant that this doesn’t bother them too much as they are used to working in the heat.
Back in Jamaica, Gray left behind his wife and two children. He regularly wires money home to his family.
