All across the country, migrant farm workers were harvesting fruits and vegetables every day. Migrant farm workers make up 10% of hired farm workers. Each part of the country had different climates. According to the season, migrant farm workers moved their whole family for the growing season.
The Pacific Coast:
The Pacific coast has a moderate climate which allows farmers to cultivate the land all year long. This means that migrant farmers don’t have to move each season. Most of the migrant workers work on fruit farms, either picking grapes and vegetables in California, or picking cherries, apples, and other crops in Washington.
The Midwest:
The Midwest has small streams to keep crops watered. Crops are smaller so workers must keep moving during the year to keep themselves employed. One family, for example, may pick strawberries in Michigan, pick tomatoes in Ohio, go back to Michigan to pick apples, then go to Texas for the winter.
The Atlantic Coast
Most workers in this region stay in Florida because of the year round work. However others travel north to New Hampshire and New York. Because this region has icy cold winters, workers here cannot find work during the winter seasons
Across the US, migrant workers were forced to move their families and their homes to match the different seasons of certain crops. Every except the pacific coast did not have year-round growing seasons. Therefore, workers on the pacific were able to stay in one place. These paths have changed slightly, however migrant workers in every region still exist today.

Good idea separating by location, it made the information more organized
ReplyDeleteGreat organization
ReplyDeleteThe Pacific coast sounded like the best of the three, which begs the question: why are there people in the other two areas if they could've easily migrated to the west?
Yes I agree. I think separating by location helps a lot. I think it must have been a hard life to live to have to move around from place to place just so one can work.

I agree about classification by location. What would the migrant workers be farming up in New Hampshire and New York?
ReplyDeleteit doesn't sound very original since everyone else said it but it was very well organized. it helped keep every subject distinctly separated from the others.
ReplyDeleteVery good idea to separate the paragraphs by location. Good formatting in each paragraph as well as correct and good information. Maybe try and make it flow better, the information seems a little jumpy
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone, it was easy to read and very organized because you organized it by topics. Well written.
ReplyDeleteI felt like i learned new information from this blog that I had not known before. I really liked how easy it was to read. Nice Job!
ReplyDeleteGreat post with an organized approach to sharing the information. I personally prefer smooth paragraph transitions in a more essay-like style, but this separation is great for information (after all, it's a history class, not an English class!).
ReplyDeleteI like the way you formatted your blog because it made it easy to follow. You included good information that was concise and to the point. Good job! It is interesting how much different climates will affect farmers because changing locations would cause the farmer to need to learn entirely different farming techniques and methods.
ReplyDeleteThe formatting (separating and analyzing by location) made it easy to understand. Good post.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you organized your blog; it made it easier to follow and read. I thought it was interesting that people from Florida would want to move up to New Hampshire and New York, considering the two places have different climate.
ReplyDeleteNice information and formatting.
ReplyDeleteI really like how everything is really easy to read and it's separated by area.
ReplyDeleteWoah, this posting has lots of comments. I really like your formatting. Easy to read and clear. Good job

ReplyDeleteNicely done! That was very concise, clear, and easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteWell done! I like how you broke it up into sections because it made it a lot easier to follow
ReplyDeleteNice work. Your missing a colon after The Atlantic Coast but I am sure no one else saw that. I like how you divided it up into bite size paragraphs that were not intimidating to read.
ReplyDeleteI like how you broke it up into separate sections based on the topic and then addressed them separately, it made them easy to read. Good post.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone about the organization into small paragraphs. A picture and a little more explanation would go nicely, though.
ReplyDeleteA good article with organized segments about where migrant workers moved.
ReplyDeleteVery organized! Each zone representing the US held good information
ReplyDeleteNicely organized! Definitely easier to read than a wall of text!
ReplyDeleteSome graphic aids would be nice, but the overall structure of this posting stands fairly well on its own. Good job!

I applaud your undertaking of the topic many refused to touch. Well written and a pleasure to read. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteAs others have said, the format and organization of this post is outstanding. It was also clear and very straightforward.
ReplyDeleteNice job! I really liked your images and organization. It was easy to follow and you touched on all the important facts. It was neat how different farming tactics developed in regions w/ different climates. You were quite clear and straightforward. Good work.
ReplyDeleteGreat job.
ReplyDeleteIt was helpful to distinguish all the different types of migrant farming in different areas.
It must have been very hard for the family because they had to work so much in so many different places.
