American agriculture employs some 2.5 million workers during a
typical year, most for fewer than six months. Three fourths of
these farm workers are immigrants, half are unauthorized, and most
will leave seasonal farm work within a decade. What do these
statistics mean for farmers, for laborers, for rural America? This
book addresses the question by reviewing what is happening on farms
and in the towns and cities where immigrant farm workers settle
with their families. Philip Martin finds that the business-labor
model that has evolved in rural America is neither desirable nor
sustainable. He proposes regularizing U.S. farm workers and
rationalizing the farm labor market, an approach that will help
American farmers stay globally competitive while also improving
conditions for farm workers.
