Brooke can't possibly mean they have to drive out to the country?

I mean, that would be stupid. Logistically impossible.

What farmer would want to rely on that work force?

Anybody ask them?

Would they be required to make make their fields and facilities ADA compliant?

Only seems fair, I suppose.
