AFB Says Rising Wages
Speeds Mechanization
The federal minimum wage for
farm workers is hastening farm
mechanization, according to a
story in the September issue of
Nation’s Agriculture, official
monthly publication of the
American Farm Bureau Federa
tion.
C. M. Wilson, a contributing
editor to Nation’s Agriculture,
reports that a bill toy New Jer
. sey’s Senator Harrison Williams
would increase the federal mini
mum wage to $2.25 per hour for
farm workers and also require
farmers to pay time and a half
for more than 40 hours a week.
' To counteract higher produc
tion costs, many farm operators
are switching to mechanization.
In Salem County, N.J., Wilson
writes, 20 new mechanical tomato
pickers are operating this sum
mer and another 15 are at work
in adjoining counties of Cum
berland and Gloucester.
In Yakima Valley in Washing
ton state, over 50 per cent of all
processing grapes were picked
by hand last year. This year
