Scope and Content Note

This series contains the procedure manuals used by County Agricultural Extension Agents in the implementation and operation of the Farm Labor Program, which the Farm Manpower Service served to coordinate. The Extension Service of the New York State College of Agriculture had the general responsibility, through the County Agents, Farm and Home Bureaus, and the 4-H Clubs organization, for implementing the recruitment, placement, housing, and general educational functions of the Farm Labor Program. Included in the manuals are lists of potential sources of labor, budget forms, monthly farm labor report forms, policies concerning Cooperative and Membership Corporations, information on the transportation, health maintenance, and insurance of workers, and certificates and insignia given to workers in recognition of satisfactory performance.
