Agriculture policy and its effects continue to change at an alarming
pace. When the Migrant Education Program was started in 1965 US
agriculture was very different than it is today. Nearly the only thing
that remains the same is there were farmers and migrant workers
working then ,and they continue to work today. The way farming and
food production is conducted has changed in many ways, as well as
where products are shipped, and how they are packed and produced.
The SOSY consortium, during the 2012 year, will be compiling and distributing
a series of briefs that will be specifically focused on providing
information in regards to factors that directly affect US agriculture
which then in turn affect farmers and producers, migrant workers, and
the MEP.
In order for the MEP program to be proactive in program planning and
in finding eligible students of all ages, it is important to keep up with
current trends. We have to know and understand agriculture as it affects
those we serve and work with each day. Since the MEP program
is a national program, we have to look at national trends. These include
how weather is affecting agriculture, keeping up with issues related
to workers such as state immigration laws, and also understanding
how imports and exports of agriculture products affect the overall
US agriculture economy, farmers, producers, and migrant workers.
This brief will provide an overview of what has happened since the
program started in relation to the globalization of agriculture
