Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: Due to the shrinking sources of farm labor, gearing up for the peak season becomes more difficult each year. The farmer has to place considerable reliance on his family's ability to meet much of the manpower needs not only during slack periods, but even during the busiest seasons. This report shows the variation in total farm labor needs with primary emphasis on the seasonal labor input of the family and secondly the seasonal labor input of the hired workers. The peak months of labor activity for each member of the operator's family and his hired labor; their proportionate share of the total labor inputs and how this input varies seasonally by farm size, type and farm production region are discussed.
