Farm Laborers Must Be Paid Well for Work
Albany May 29 state officials say New York farmers can meet this season’s food goals if they pay farm laborers the high wages they demand. They emphasize labor cost, not shortage, and expect woodsmen from winter camps to join fields. Back-to-the-land movement and favorable prices next fall should help, with planting delayed by weather.
