During the apple harvest season the growers would "order" X number of foreign workers estimated to get the job done. The amount would rise and fall as the season progressed. I believe they were "ordered" from the Employment Commission. The Growers Association also operated the migrant workers camp. This was in Winchester, Virginia. Once the self proclaimed Apple Capital of the World. That was years ago and I don't know what they do now. Most of the workers use to be from the Bahamas. They kept moving on to the next crop somewhere and not staying. Where all that broke down into not going home when the work was done I don't know.
