Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: The migrant survey project was undertaken to determine the extent of USDA program delivery to migrant farmworkers, to identify problems they have in obtaining benefits and services, and to recommend remedial action when necessary. The survey was accomplished through on-site field surveys at 11 locations in eight states. All field work was completed between June and December 1975. Sites were scheduled for surveys at times and places of peak migrant farmworker employment. The first part of the survey included eight sites where workers were at away-from-home crop areas. The second part of the project included three on-site surveys performed at migrant farmworker homebase counties… At each field location the survey team made in-depth observations of farm labor camps and interviewed migrant farmworkers. Conferences were held with officials of Federal, State and local government agencies who administer programs for migrant farmworkers and their families. Contacts were made with local agents of all USDA agencies having programs of significance to migrants, including Food and Nutrition Service, Farmers Home Administration and Extension Service.
