Excerpt from Legal Status of Agricultural Workers Under State Labor Legislation Examination of State labor laws reveals a conspicuous practice on the part of legislatures to deny persons employed in farming legis lative protection. Some of the reasons which have been advanced for the exclusion of this group of workers from the provisions of State labor legislation have been: (a) a belief that the administrative difficulties would make administrative costs so high as to be prohibi tive; (b) a fear that the small farmers would be placed at a disadvantage in comparison With large farmers if the legislation applied equally to both; (0) a tradition that the farm hand does not require protection and (d) that inclusion of farm laborers would result in defeat of any proposed labor legislation.

The agriculture, forestry, and fishing sectors are the cornerstone of industries that produce food, fiber, and biofuel. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducts research in order to improve worker safety and health in these sectors. This National Research Council book reviews the NIOSH Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Program to evaluate the 1) relevance of its work to improvements in occupational safety and health and 2) the impact of research in reducing workplace illnesses and injuries. The assessment reveals that the program has made meaningful contributions to improving worker safety and health in these fields. To enhance the relevance and impact of its work and fulfill its mission, the NIOSH Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing Program should provide national leadership, coordination of research, and activities to transfer findings, technologies, and information into practice. The program will also benefit from establishing strategic goals and implementing a comprehensive surveillance system in order to better identify and track worker populations at risk.
