Abstract

Two events are occurring which could have a profound effect on the Florida tomato industry. One is the development of a technology for harvesting fresh-market tomatoes mechanically. The second is the development of wage legislation affecting farm workers. This paper is an attempt to evaluate the effect of different minimum wage levels on the rate of adoption of mechanical harvesting, and the subsequent effect on employment and earnings in the tomato industry.
