The Harvest Calendar is our main outreach tool for immigrants and agricultural workers, reaching nearly 2,000 people.
Agricultural Workers & Immigrant Rights
Outreach in the Midst of COVID
In 2020 and 2021 LAWO modified its outreach efforts to ensure it provided agricultural workers information about their rights and how to protect themselves and their families in a COVID safe manner. We also provided information on COVID-19 and personal protection equipment to agricultural workers.
H-2A Workers Increasingly Important Source of Labor Employment
Over the last decade, employers have increasingly turned to the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Workers Program to fill temporary agricultural jobs in Ohio and the country.
Income Tax Obligations Critical to Agricultural Workers
Agricultural workers, in particular those who are here on an H-2A visa, often face complicated income tax issues.
