Although farming is one of the most dangerous jobs in the United States, there is a huge gap in healthcare for those who work in the industry. Due to the large migrant population and seasonal workers, especially those from Mexico, it is a difficult population to reach regarding health needs. Fear, language barriers, and cultural norms are all barriers that must be addressed for this special population. “(Holmes 2011) Agriculture is one of the most dangerous occupations in the United States. In 2000 there were 780 deaths and 130,000 disabling injuries in agriculture. The only sector that had more deaths was construction, with 1,220.” (Hansen and Donohoe 2003) “Migrant workers face numerous barriers to medical care, including lack of transportation, insurance, and sick leave, the threat or fear of losing wages or jobs, language barriers between MSFWs and health care workers and limited clinic hours.” (Hansen and Donohoe 2003) Traumatic injuries, food insecurity, infectious diseases, chemical- and pesticide-related illnesses, dermatitis, dental, heat stress, respiratory conditions, musculoskeletal disorders, and reproductive health are just some of the problems facing agricultural workers migrants have to face.
