Wisconsin farms may be unaware that labor trafficking in agriculture could be happening right in front of them. Stephanie Hoff gets familiar with this issue from Mariana Rodriguez, Director of UMOS Latina Resource Center in Milwaukee. She gives advice on what farms should be looking for when hiring contract labor to avoid legal implications. She starts us off by explaining what labor trafficking is: recruitment, harboring, and transporting of workers and using force, fraud, or coercion for labor services.

Wisconsin farmers already have 6% of their soybeans in the ground, 4% of the corn is planted and 41% of the state's spuds are already in the ground. Although tillage is running behind at 26% complete, the winter wheat has improved by 6% points to 58% good to excellent. Pam Jahnke shares the stats.
