Farm Labor Outlook Good Says Extension Expert
College Station notes that acreage shifts are not likely to cut Texas farm labor needs before harvest. Substitution crops and heavy machinery could reduce harvest labor, while cotton remains labor intensive. A 1.75 million acre drop lowers overall labor needs though wage rates may stay steady amid drought and weak industry. Bates expects higher returns with proper planning.
