Author: Padfield, Harland
Date Published: 1965


This book attempts to point out why technological change has occurred in Arizona agriculture and why farmers continually face an apparent labor shortage. It examines certain questions: Who are the farm labors? Who will be affected by technological change? Who are using the present farm labor system to their advantage? Who might be available for work under future technological systems? It also discusses why the farmers need certain types of labor and why certain types of labor in turn need the farm.
