farm laborers
Agricultural hired hands
Farm laborers are workers who perform manual tasks on agricultural land—planting, cultivating, harvesting, and tending livestock.
The term typically refers to hired workers rather than farm owners or their families.
Farm labor has historically relied on seasonal and migrant workers: The farm laborers arrived in September for the grape harvest.
