In two American breadbasket communities, Moorefield, W. Va., and Salinas, Calif.,, small farmers and ranchers have been left to improvise as their markets swivel and contract. In its early months considered an urban problem, the coronavirus has been especially brutal in rural agricultural communities, where farmworkers were slow to get personal protective equipment and effective safety protocols. A recent University of California, Berkeley study shows that 13% of Salinas Valley farmworkers tested positive for the virus between July and November, compared with about 3% of Californians overall.
