Hello folks,

I am working on the syllabus for my Intro to Sustainable Agriculture 
class this fall and would like to include a reading (~10 pages) on 
Migrant labor in the US Agriculture.

I am looking for an accessible article that discusses the big picture 
but may also focus in on a sector of ag or even a specific family of 
migrants.

Good articles that don't fit the listed criteria are also of interest.

Any recommendations?

Joel
