Migrant Worker Labor Shifts To Machines At Troyer Farm
At Glenn Troyer Farms near Waterford migrant labor features two black workers who operate tractors and pickers to harvest potatoes on a 500 acre field. The workers, recruited from Florida, will return after the crop is in to join citrus harvests. The farm uses migrants for flexibility, with housing provided free, including showers and facilities. The migrants adapt to machinery and a higher skill set, and many return yearly.
