farm labor camps

Farm labor camps are designated living facilities where agricultural workers reside, often near their work sites. These camps provide basic housing, potentially including dormitories or cabins, aimed at accommodating seasonal or migrant employees. Conditions can vary widely; some camps offer adequate amenities and safety measures, while others face criticism for overcrowding or poor living standards. The purpose of these camps is to support agricultural production by providing convenient housing for workers who often relocate to follow harvest seasons. Regulations exist to ensure health and safety standards, but enforcement and quality can differ depending on location and management.
