This conference examines labor-related issues in California and US agriculture. Labor-intensive fruit and vegetable crops are almost 85 percent of California’s and 40 percent of US crop sales, farm worker employment has been increasing, and the H-2A guest worker program is expanding rapidly.

Three timely issues will be discussed. First, how are changes in technology and trade affecting the demand for farm workers? Second, how is the expansion of the H-2A program affecting the current aging and unauthorized farm workforce? Third, how are Trump Administration migration policy changes affecting farmers, farm workers, and agricultural communities?
