Farmers Show Little Interest In Using A Team of High School Students
Texas farmers have shown little interest in employing the 5 000 A-Team high school students recruited to fill farm labor needs as the Bracero program ends. Henry LeBlanc of the Texas Employment Commission says around 200 teams of 20 31 boys plus a supervisor are ready, with farmers urged to contact local TEC offices. Out-of-state demand appears higher with Arizona and Michigan showing interest, while Texans near home offer greater earnings.
