WestSouthwest November 30, 2015

Robbie Feinberg/WMUK

On WestSouthwest, WMUK reporter Robbie Feinberg's series on the changing lives of migrant workers in Michigan. 

  

The three-part series originally aired in October. Part one examined the new opportunities which are leading some migrants to leave the fields. 

Part two was a look at how farmers are trying to find enough workers to replace the ones who have left.

In part three we meet some of the former migrant workers who are now buying their own farms.

Also Robbie Feinberg explains the background of the series, and shares some details that did not make it into the original stories.
