SocietyDeadly daytime heat turns Japanese farmers nocturnal

Japanese farmers are shifting to night work as intense summer daytime heat makes farm labor dangerous. North of Tokyo, flower grower Motoaki Iijima harvests in a lit greenhouse after sunset after a worker suffered heatstroke there three summers ago. Nearby, poultry farmer Tetsuya Usuba wakes his flock at 2:30 am to feed.
