About Us and Farmworker Labor in Ohio

Thousands of agricultural workers live in or migrate to Ohio to work in its number one industry, Agriculture. These workers are often an afterthought, stuck in the background, and we aim to bring their stories to the forefront. Not of the people calling the shots but those who toil in the fields and harvest the food we eat, those who care for livestock and work in dairies. We want to know why they do this backbreaking work, how they got into the industry, and their hopes and dreams. We also seek to explore the dangers of these occupations and the history of worker protections in agriculture, especially those of farmworkers and foreign agricultural workers.  Have Questions?  Email Us with any questions you may have. We're here to help!
