This book delves into the farm labor market in Connecticut in the 1940s, specifically around the cultivation and harvesting of shade and sun-grown tobacco, dairy, vegetables, fruit, berries, and poultry. The author offers an in-depth analysis of the seasonal labor requirements for each type of farming, highlighting the heavy reliance on non-local workers, particularly for shade tobacco. The book examines the socioeconomic conditions of these migrant laborers, including their housing and living conditions, and explores the efforts made by the State Agricultural Defense Council and other organizations to address the farm labor shortage. Through a detailed examination of historical documents and interviews with key individuals, the author provides a nuanced understanding of the challenges faced by farmers and laborers alike during this period of agricultural transformation and labor scarcity.
