Shame highlights poor farm labor housing in Connecticut
At a Connecticut conference, Paul Putnam of the University of Connecticut condemned substandard housing for farm labor. He noted orchard and vegetable growers lag behind shade tobacco farmers in improving housing and pay, calling some farmers to be ashamed of the conditions. He warned labor recruitment suffers from poor living conditions and low wages, framing farm labor as a minority with a poor relative position.
