Senate Keeps Farm Workers in Wage Bill Amid Battle Over Coverage
The Senate voted 51 to 37 to reject an effort to remove farm workers from the minimum wage bill, extending coverage to about 390,000 agricultural employees. The measure would raise the wage floor to 1.60 by February 1, 1968, with a gradual rise to 1.40 next year for 7.2 million more workers. Senator Yarborough argued the move aids family farms, while Hollard warned of a wedge into broader coverage. Only 56,000 farms would be affected by the 500 Man-days rule, yet they employ 39 percent of farm workers.
