Abstract: The determinants of the provision of health benefits to full-time farm workers in Virginia are investigated using farm-level data. Health benefits are associated with higher wages on Virginia farms, while the provision of housing tends to lower wages. Agricultural employers must compete with other labor markets for workers on a wages and benefits package. Agricultural employers can also compete for workers by offering housing, a benefit not offered by other employers. © 1994 by John Wiley & sons, Inc.
