  • 28 NOVEMBER 2006 - SAN LUIS, AZ:  Farm workers harvest lettuce in fields northeast of Yuma, AZ. Farmers and agricultural producers around Yuma, AZ, are facing a growing shortage of farm workers. Increased border enforcement have deterred many illegal workers from seeking work in Arizona and long lines at the ports of entry for legal workers are leading to the labor shortage. Some labor contractors are reporting as much as a 40 percent shortage of farm workers, Yuma farmers planted 15 percent fewer acres this year, compared to last, because of the shortage. More than 100,000 acres of iceberg lettuce are cultivated in Yuma county and more than 50,000 people are employed as seasonal farm workers at the height of the harvest, which is December through February. Nearly 3,500 seasonal farm workers stand in line for up to two hours every morning at the San Luis, AZ, Port of Entry to enter the US legally to work in the fields. Experienced workers can make as much as $14 (US) per hour during the harvest.  PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ

Farmers and agricultural producers around Yuma, AZ, are facing a growing shortage of farm workers. Increased border enforcement have deterred many illegal workers from seeking work in Arizona and long lines at the ports of entry for legal workers are leading to the labor shortage. Some labor contractors are reporting as much as a 40 percent shortage of farm workers, Yuma farmers planted 15 percent fewer acres this year, compared to last, because of the shortage. More than 100,000 acres of iceberg lettuce are cultivated in Yuma county and more than 50,000 people are employed as seasonal farm workers at the height of the harvest, which is December through February. Nearly 3,500 seasonal farm workers stand in line for up to two hours every morning at the San Luis, AZ, Port of Entry to enter the US legally to work in the fields. Experienced workers can make as much as $14 (US) per hour during the harvest.  Photo by Jack Kurtz

  • 14 MAY 2013 - BANGTATHEN, SAPHUNBURI, THAILAND:   Workers on a shrimp farm in Saphunburi province of Thailand, harvest shrimp from a pond. Many farms in the area have been hit by EMS. Early mortality syndrome, better known as EMS -- or Acute Hepatopancreatic Necrosis Syndrome, (AHPNS) as scientist refer to it -- has wiped out millions of shrimp in  Thailand, the leading shrimp exporter in the world. EMS first surfaced in 2009 in China, where farmers noticed that their prawns had begun dying en-masse, without any identifiable cause. By 2011, shrimp farms in China's Hainan, Guangdong, Fujian and Guangxi provinces were suffering losses as great as 80%. Farmers named the disease based on its immediate effect - Early Mortality Syndrome. After China, EMS devastated shrimp farms in Vietnam, Malaysia. The province of Tra Vinh, Vietnam, saw 330 million shrimp die in the month of June 2011 alone. In Malaysia, where EMS first emerged in 2010, commercial prawn production declined by 42%. EMS hit Thailand in early 2013. As a result of early die offs in Thailand many farmers left their shrimp ponds empty and stores that sell shrimp farm supplies have reported up to 80% drop in business as shrimp farm owners have cut back on buying.

Tom Clark planted 50 acres of chilies on his cotton farm for the first time this year and said he expects to net three times per acre what he would have had he planted cotton. This is the first time chilies have been grown around Marana, which is the heart of the Arizona cotton industry. The chilies will be processed in Las Cruces, NM, and turned into paprika powder, food dye and lipstick. It will take a crew of 45 about 10 days to harvest the 50 acres of chilies. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
