Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker

Migrant and seasonal farmworkers are individuals who move, often regularly, to different locations to work on farms harvesting crops. Migrant farmworkers typically travel long distances and work away from their permanent residence for part of the year, following the harvesting seasons. Seasonal farmworkers have employment that is tied to specific growing seasons and usually remain in the same general area during that period. Both groups provide essential labor for agriculture, often facing unique challenges related to mobility, income stability, and access to services.
