Abstract: Recent studies show that the supply of farm workers from rural Mexico is decreasing (Charlton and Taylor, 2016). Because the vast majority of hired farm workers in the United States are from Mexico, a negative trend in farm labor migration from Mexico creates challenges for California farmers. The purpose of this survey is to collect information about changes in farming practices resulting from the increased incidence of farmworker scarcity. This report describes the survey response and summarizes a number of key preliminary findings.
