Migrant and seasonal farmworkers work in various sectors of our nation’s agriculture industry – from harvesting to sorting to processing and everything in between. It is hard work and requires special skills. According to a report by the U.S. Department of Labor, farmworkers’ average total family incomes for 2017-2018 were between $25,000 and $29,999. Thirty-one percent of farmworkers had family incomes below the poverty level in 2017-2018. Migrant & Seasonal Head Start was a response to the needs of migrant farmworker families. In most states, local early childhood education resources are not available when migrants come into a community, especially for infants and toddlers. When resources are not available, parents have no choice but to take the children to the fields where they are exposed to pesticides, hazardous equipment, extreme heat and other health dangers.
