Seasonal Farm Labor in the Southeast

Abstract

Excerpts from the Report: The Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture is now engaged in appraising the farm labor situation in a number of counties in the United States. Fifty-two of the 100 type of farming areas in the United States are to be included in these rapid surveys during the current fiscal year. The principal sources of farm labor in the Southeastern States are the farm and the areas immediately surrounding the farm. Fully 90 percent of the total farm labor needs in any type of farming area in this region is supplied from within that area. It is important, however, to consider the remaining 10 percent, or less, of the total labor needs because at times this represents from 25 percent to 100 percent of the total labor required for a given crop operation.
