Legal Aid of Nebraska’s Agricultural Worker Rights Program offers legal services to agricultural workers across the state.

Agricultural workers are employed at farms, feed lots, hog confinements, harvesters, contractors, or companies working in the production of crops, dairy products, poultry and livestock, nursery and greenhouse production, vineyards; and the food processing industry, such as, fruit and vegetable canning.  Agricultural workers may be migrant workers who travel from place to place harvesting seasonal crops or detasseling corn.

• You aren’t paid for all your hours;
