RE: farmworker identification

[Guest guest]

Dear Jan,

Two questions:

1) Can you clarify the first question about " principle employment in

farm work " . I am aware of the often used 2 year time limit, but was not

aware of the criteria related to principle employment (as opposed to any

move in the past 2 years, to seek farm work).

2) Also, are you allowing your definition to include non-agricultural

farm work?

Best,

found that they do not reflect what the law actually says. I developed a

questionnaire/flow chart using public law 104-299 which I have attached. I

would appreciate if you review this and let me know your thoughts as to whether

it is an accurate tool.

and others,

You might check out my MSFW Enumeration Profiles Study reports (prepared for the Office of Migrant Health in 2000) as we had quite a discussion with the Office of MIgrant Health on their program definition of MSFWs. Each report begins with conclusions from this discussion (see the definitions section). The reports (10 of them -- choose any one) are located on the BPHC website at: www.bphc.hrsa.gov/migrant/enumeration/enumerationstudy.htm

I hope this is useful.

Alice,

Is it possible to get the Oregon Enumeration on Migrant Health's website?

,

I am including below the definition of " migrant agricultural worker, " " seasonal

agricultural worker, " and " agriculture " from public law 104-299, the health

center consolidation act. According to this definition, both " migrant

agricultural workers " and " seasonal agricultural workers " must be principally

employed in agriculture. The 24 month time limit is only for " migrant

agricultural workers. " Since the definition specifically refers to agriculture

and agricultural workers, I would not include non-agricultural farmwork.

Please let me know if this is not clear of if you have other questions.

Jan

(3) DEFINITIONS.-For purposes of this subsection:

(A) MIGRATORY AGRICULTURAL WORKER.-The term 'migratory agricultural worker'

means an individual whose principal employment is in agriculture on a seasonal

basis, who has been so employed within the last 24 months, and who establishes

for the purposes of such employment a temporary abode.

( SEASONAL AGRICULTURAL WORKER.-The term 'seasonal agricultural worker' means

an individual whose principal employment is in agriculture on a seasonal basis

and who is not a migratory agricultural worker.

© AGRICULTURE.-The term 'agriculture' means farming in all its branches,

including-

(ii) the production, cultivation, growing, and harvesting of any commodity
