Farm Labor Shortages Meet By Local Workers And Neighbors
In Brookings on May 27 Dr Walter L Slocum of the South Dakota Agricultural Experiment Station warns that wartime production heightens farm labor strain. He notes most labor comes from operators and families and cites 41.5 percent of operators hiring any labor in 1935 and 14.3 percent hiring by the month in 1939. He urges mobilizing harvest labor through county inventories via the U S Employment Service and favors neighbor exchanges and neighborhood councils to maximize local labor and machinery usage.
