"Farmworkers are people who work in agriculture, either seasonally or permanently, and earn their primary income from that work. They perform a variety of tasks, including:
Planting, seeding, and cultivating crops
Irrigating and pruning crops
Harvesting crops
Packing and loading crops for shipment
Processing and packaging food for sale
Working with pesticides
Farmworkers are essential to the production and distribution of crops in the United States, but they make up less than 1% of all wage and salary workers in the country. Many farmworkers are foreign-born and lack authorization to work legally in the United States.
Farmworkers often face special housing needs due to their limited income and unstable employment. Farmworker households tend to have high rates of poverty and overcrowding, and low homeownership rates."
