A migrant worker is person that travels from one place to another in the search of work and better opportunities. Most migrant farmworkers in Minnesota are U.S. legal permanent residents or citizens that have a "home base" in south Texas or are Mexican citizens with permission to work in this country. Migrant farmworkers are actively recruited by Minnesota companies and their crew leaders to work in farm fields and food processing factories. In South-central Minnesota, the majority of migrant farmworkers work in seasonal canning jobs in vegetable processing companies.
