I am satisfied that these administrative problems have been solved. and that the provision of the present billto cover agricultural workers who earn at least $50 in a calendar quarter from one employer will present no burdensome administrative problems on the farmers of the Nation. The $50 cash test. for example. makes it unnecessary for the farm employer to report on workers hired for only 2 or 3 days and would also avoid nuisance reporting of small amounts of wages. At the same time the $50 test sets a level which will cover some migrant agricultural workers who must move from one job to another in order to harvest our crops. The committee was influenced by the fact that this method for covering agricultural workers was recommended by the President in his message of January 14. 1954. after a study had been conducted as to the feasibility of extending coverage of the system. A distinguished group of consultantsincluding representatives of the National Grange. the American Farm Bureau. the life insurance industry. labor. and the Departments of the Treasury.
