Professor Laura-Anne Minkoff-Zern doesn\u2019t think so. Catch her insights on this week\u2019s episode of Rootstock Radio. Tune in to hear about:  The lowdown on guest worker programs in agriculture: what they are, why they\u2019re gaining popularity again\u2014and why they\u2019re problematic. How social violence and economic exclusion in the marketplace turns farmers into migrant farm workers. The history of farm workers being left out of progressive labor reforms like 40-hour work weeks and the right to unionize. Hope! An opportunity emerging for immigrant farm workers as (predominantly) white farmers are retiring across the country.
