Abstract	An immediate assessment of the migrant and seasonal farmworker situation was conducted between August 1975 and January 1976. The assessment described the elements affecting these farmworkers; discussed current and projected changes in migration patterns; analyzed the effects of inflation and of changes in agricultural demand and production on these farmworkers; identified levels and kinds of services delivered by state and local public agencies to migrants; described the size and characteristics of this farmworker population; identified Federal legislation and policies affecting migrants; and analyzed attitudes affecting migrant and seasonal farmworkers. This report presents data pertaining to demographic studies of farmworkers; income; age and family size; racial/ethnic composition of the work force; agricultural mechanization; regional unemployment; inflation and farmworker buying power; manpower training and educational services; supportive services under Comprehensive Employment and Training Act (CETA); labor legislation excluding farmworkers, incidentally covering farmwork, and specifically concerning farmworkers; major legislation and social programs under which farmworkers receive benefits; availability of health care; migrant in-stream and home base housing; seasonal farmworker housing; necessity and inaccessability of services; social programs; and economic development. Appendices include the CETA Title III-303 Grantee Directory, Migrant Health Directory, Migrant Health Project reporting requirements, and the court order in the NAACP vs Peter J. Brennan case. (NQ)
