Agriculture in general. and the fruit industry in particular. requires a large amount of seasonal labor. continuous full employment obviously cannot be guaranteed. However. agriculture as an industry is entitled to able. willing and qualified help. Our force of migrant persons (of which only a portion are actually employable) is not adequate to do the job. Supplemental foreign labor will be necessary to augment the domestic labor supply for some years to come. This is particularly true in the case of pear and apple picking which requires the use of 12- and 14foot ladders with a 40pound load in a picking bag.
