H-2A, H-2B and Seasonal Farm workers are critical to Pennsylvania’s agricultural industry helping to ensure a safe and secure food supply for all. Farmers across the state rely on these workers to help plant and harvest theirs crops.
In 2021, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture identified a need to gather and illustrate demographic data on farmworkers across the state. The department partnered with Team Pennsylvania and Econsult to create a resource that shows data about farmworkers at a county level. The data from this tool will help guide future policy decisions and also help inform diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts of the department. The data will be updated annually to ensure real-time accurate data. Access the data here.
