Abstract: Close to half of all U.S. farms in 1987, accounting for more than four-fifths of the value of farm product sales, use hired labor. Hired labor's importance to U.S. farm production requires agricultural employers to understand Federal laws and regulations governing employment, taxes, wages, and working conditions. This single-source publication summarizes these laws and regulations. This updated version of a 1989 report contains expanded sections on agricultural employers’ Federal safety and tax requirements and a new section on Federal equal opportunity requirements.
