Migrant Farmworkers in Wisconsin

Doris P. Slesinger

Rural America/ Rural Development Perspectives, 1985, vol. 02, issue 01

Abstract: Migrant farmworkers all over the country face the same problems—too little money, poor health, and too little schooling. These are the problems of migrants who rely on farmwork for their livelihood, not the part-timers who work on farms during vacation from high school or between semesters at college. This article documents the situation for Wisconsin's migrants, most of whom travel over 4,000 miles each year in search of work.
