A farmworker is an individual who is employed in agriculture, primarily involved in the cultivation of crops and the care of livestock. Their tasks can include planting, harvesting, and maintaining fields, as well as feeding and caring for animals. Farmworkers play a crucial role in the food supply chain, ensuring that fresh produce and livestock products reach consumers. Many farmworkers work seasonally, often moving between different regions to follow harvest schedules. They may be employed on large commercial farms or smaller family-owned operations. The work can be physically demanding and may require long hours, especially during peak seasons.
