The trade-union movement in American agriculture has not equaled the extent that it has reached in industry. Since the New Deal, however, unionism in agriculture has taken a sudden spurt forward. This new unionization is strongest among the casual workers engaged in occupations which require group activity. Racial homogeneity, as well as social stability, seem necessary conditions for agricultural labor organization. Most of the unions are associated with the American Federation of Labor, although that body has not as yet granted a charter to an Agricultural International. The sudden articulate interest in working conditions and wages probably can be ascribed to the depressed condition of the incomes of these farm workers and the propaganda for unionization and organization resulting from New Deal policies
