Clip: 12/18/2021 | 6m 53sVideo has Closed Captions
Reports of agricultural labor trafficking are on the rise during the pandemic.
In Illinois, farming is big business. The Illinois Farm Bureau estimates that Illinois’ agriculture industry and related activity contribute more than $50 billion to the state’s economy. But the nature of farm work and the structure of our nation’s migrant labor program make the people who perform long hours of labor in Illinois’ over 72 million farms vulnerable to abuse.
