Current Narrative:
In accordance with 20 CFR 653.107(i-p), MSFW outreach efforts will be conducted through personal contacts with MSFWs, employers and other agency staff; public meetings; and distributing pamphlets and other relevant printed materials. MSFW outreach workers will maintain records of their outreach efforts in a daily outreach activities log, and use the information to prepare and submit monthly reports to the State Monitor Advocate during periods of peak agricultural activity. MSFW outreach staff will make a concerted effort to provide agricultural employers with pertinent information regarding the procedures for the intra/interstate recruitment of temporary agricultural workers. All six significant offices will continue to recruit and hire Outreach Workers who are bilingual and have a migrant background or experience working with the migrant farmworker population when vacancies occur.
