08 DECEMBER 2004 - MARANA, AZ: Migrant farm workers harvest Sonora chilies on the Clark Farm in Marana, Arizona. Tom Clark planted 50 acres of chilies on his cotton farm for the first time this year and said he expects to net three times per acre what he would have had he planted cotton. This is the first time chilies have been grown around Marana, which is the heart of the Arizona cotton industry. The chilies will be processed in Las Cruces, NM, and turned into paprika powder, food dye and lipstick. It will take a crew of 45 about 10 days to harvest the 50 acres of chilies.
