Mich.. is based predominantly on agricultural production. and Whereas the harvesting of many of its crops. especially potatoes and pickles. is dependent in large part on manual labor supplied by migrant workers from Mexico. and Whereas recent changes in treaties with Mexico have caused much uncertainty LiakIng contracting for labor during the coming harvest season difficult. if not impossible. and Whereas this uncertainty and lack of labor contracts are causing a great hardship on local and State farmers and the farm economy: Now. therefore. be it Resolved. That the Montcalm County Board of Supervisors expresses its deep concern regarding the present farm labor situation to W. Willard Wirtz.
