As a child, Roberto Rosales remembers his family traveling along the migrant stream up the East Coast harvesting tomatoes, cucumbers, watermelons and sweet potatoes. Rosales, 27, is the new farmworker health and safety educator for Wilson, Nash and Edgecombe counties. His office is at the North Carolina Cooperative Extension office in Wilson County. “My parents are from Mexico,” Rosales said. “They moved here in the mid-’80s and my dad worked in agriculture harvesting throughout the East Coast. So they’d go up and down the East Coast following the crops, and then just do it all over again the following year.”
