Mr. Chairman. I rise in support of this legislation. I would like to make a few comments. as chairman of our Family Farm Subcommittee of the House Committee on Agriculture. As has been emphasized by previous speakers. to do away with this program would have a particularly adverse effect on the family farm. In September of 1962 there were 8.332.000 total farm laborers. Of this number there were 228.000 domestic migrant workers and 106.000 Mexican nationals. A family farm. Mr. Chairman. if you want to take .a ruleofthumb definition. is considered a farm that is big enough for a farmer and his family to make a living on and. yet is not so big that the farmer and his family cannot provide over 50 percent of the labor at all times. except at harvest time.
