Area Demand For Farm Labor Changes Little
Kansas farm labor in Chanute during the first half of 1958 matched 1957 levels with 112 of 297 placements since January. Hay work dwindled in July due to weather, while grain harvest and other farm work filled remaining openings. Some harvests attract workers from the area and volunteers aid in referrals. Colorado peach harvest recruitment begins August with mixed pay. Local outlook anticipates similar seasonal demand and adequate worker supply for fiscal year starting July 1958.
