Pima Farmers to Rely on Prisoner Labor for Cotton Harvest
County agent Glenn Blackledge says, with no requests for Mexican National labor, farmers will hire German and Italian prisoners of war from Papago Park and Florence camps to pick cotton. About 4,000 prisoners are available, aiding Pima County’s 10,000 acres of cotton as harvest nears. Farmers are urged to contact the farm labor office, while Blackledge notes the shift from Mexican labor is unexplained but practical due to housing needs and guard requirements.
