🚨🌾 FROM $187,500 TO JUST $3,750 — WHO'S PROTECTING NORTH CAROLINA'S FARMWORKERS? And there's another chapter to the Barnes Farming story that deserves public attention. 💔 September 5, 2023: José Arturo González Mendoza, a 30-year-old Mexican migrant farmworker, died while harvesting sweet potatoes at Barnes Farming in Nash County. ⚖️ March 2024: Following an investigation, the North Carolina Department of Labor cited Barnes Farming for serious workplace safety violations, including an alleged willful violation. Investigators documented concerns involving: 💧 Inadequate access to drinking water. ☀️ Dangerous heat exposure and insufficient rest breaks. 🌡️ Failure to adequately acclimatize workers to extreme heat. 🚑 Inadequate emergency-response training. 💰 THE ORIGINAL PENALTY: $187,500. 🚨 May 6, 2025: The NC Department of Labor approved a settlement reducing that penalty to just $3,750! That's a 98% REDUCTION! The state also withdrew the willful violation after autopsy findings identified a rare medical condition as the cause of death, although heat exposure could not be completely excluded. Barnes Farming agreed to additional worker safety training and a review of its heat-stress prevention policies. 👀 NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT POWER AND ACCOUNTABILITY. The Barnes family operates one of North Carolina's largest agricultural businesses, and Lisa Stone Barnes serves in the North Carolina Senate. That doesn't establish political interference in the settlement. But it raises questions worth asking: How does a $187,500 workplace safety penalty become $3,750? Was the settlement appropriate? And are North Carolina's migrant farmworkers receiving the protections they deserve? A worker lost his life. His name deserves to be remembered. 🕯️ JOSÉ ARTURO GONZÁLEZ MENDOZA — 1993–2023 🎥 Watch The Hometown Holler's earlier investigation into Barnes Farming's financial troubles. 📲 COPY & PASTE THIS LINK into your browser to view the full video on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGDbt-jg6yG/ 🎃🌾 THE ROTTING HARVEST: THE BARNES CRIME FAMILY Our fictional Halloween horror satire explores real issues involving agricultural labor, political power, and accountability.
