"In 1965, substantial loss* es were experienced by pro* ducers of strawberries, to* matoes, and asparagus la California and cucumbers la Michigan. This pattern will become much more serious it the Administration does not develop a program upon which farmers and others in volved can rely.” Shuman said the present farm work force of 800.000 will have to be tripled by June to 2.4 million workers t 0 meet demand. The Farm Bureau presi dent said farmers are mech anizing rapidly in the lace of the labor shortage, but that mechanization still ia some distance ott for some crops. As an example of heightened mechanization, he said it is expected that 80 percent ot the California canning tomato crop will be picked by machines this year, as against 29 percent mechan ically harvested last year “The fact is,” he conclud ed, “many fruit and vege. table farmers will be desper ate for help unless the Ad ministration indicates more clearly than they have yet done that the employment of foreign workers will be per mitted to meet crucial farm labor emergencies.” (Cutaway drawU*: MORE HEAT!
