Extract

Agriculture has been excluded, exempted or by-passed, depending upon one's viewpoint, from much of the social legislation extending back to the 1930's. For many years agriculture was essentially outside of workmen's compensation, minimum wage legislation, child labor laws and the social security system to identify a few. Legislation extending unemployment insurance protection to farm workers has never been enacted but we appear much closer to taking positive action to correct this situation.
