Since the mid-1990s New York dairy farm employers have relied heavily on Hispanic workers
(mostly from Mexico and Guatemala) to fill labor-intensive dairy positions. This study is a
partial replication of a 2005 survey when 111 Hispanic workers and 60 dairy managers in New
York State were interviewed (Maloney and Grusenmeyer 2005). The purpose of this survey is to
update parts of the 2005 survey, to examine the demographic characteristics of New York
Hispanic dairy workers and gain insight into their attitudes toward their jobs. The information
was collected in on-farm personal interviews of 205 Hispanic workers and 36 dairy managers
during the summer of 2016.
