En diciembre de 2025, durante la reuni\u00f3n anual de la Asociaci\u00f3n de \u00c1rboles Frutales del Estado de Washington celebrada en Wenatchee, conversamos con Gerber, de Rock Island, asistente de riego con Zirkle Fruit Co. y estudiante de HOEEP (programa de educaci\u00f3n para empleados hispanos de huertas) de Wenatchee Valley College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conociendo a Gerber Rivera<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfDisfruta trabajar en la huerta?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antes trabajaba en el empaque. Pensaba que me sentar\u00eda m\u00e1s libre en el campo y disfrutar la naturaleza. \u00a1Pero no, no hay tiempo de verla!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfCu\u00e1les son sus responsabilidades?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soy el encargado de programaci\u00f3n en el campo. Manejo un sistema automatizado; es m\u00e1s eficiente. Quiero seguir en el sector y mantenerme al d\u00eda. Por suerte, no tengo problemas con las computadoras. No todos tuvimos las mismas oportunidades cuando \u00e9ramos j\u00f3venes, y sin ese contacto desde chico es dif\u00edcil aprender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00bfComo ve la industria, de aqu\u00ed al futuro?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tecnol\u00f3gicamente avanzando, pero no creo que mejore econ\u00f3micamente. S\u00ed, va a ser mejor que ahora por las nuevas tecnolog\u00edas. En cuanto a los trabajadores, cada persona tiene su sue\u00f1o. Las compa\u00f1\u00edas grandes van comprando todo y la gente va perdiendo las ganas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em>I want to stay in the industry and keep up to date<\/em>.\u201d<\/em><\/em><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

In December 2025, during the annual meeting of the Washington State Fruit Tree Association held in Wenatchee, we spoke with Gerber, of Rock Island, an irrigation assistant with Zirkle Fruit Co. and a student in the HOEEP (Hispanic Orchard Employee Education Program) at Wenatchee Valley College.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting to know Gerber Rivera<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Do you enjoy working in the orchards?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used to work in packaging. I thought I would feel freer in the fields and enjoy nature. But no, there’s no time to see it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are your responsibilities?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m in charge of irrigation scheduling. I operate an automated system, it’s more efficient. I want to stay in the industry and keep up to date. Fortunately, I have no problems with computers. Not all of us had the same opportunities when we were young. Without exposure as a young person, it\u2019s difficult to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do you see the industry moving forward?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Technologically, it’s advancing, but it’s not going to improve much economically. It will be better than now because of new technology. As for the workers, each person has their dream. Big companies are buying everything, and people are losing enthusiasm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
