just letting you know that the meeting will be recorded for future reference thank you for being here and getting those two have Amazon faces but no pressure of course I guess we'll get started 50 more people should go into the room we're having some technical difficulties here at the beginning but I have ever thank you Lily for the introduction my name is Josue I am an analyst with mcfh they will be looking at the farm we predicted that some of you may have already pressed access. Some of you may already have access to this information might not be new to everyone but the Gold Dust different issues to give everyone a demonstration of strength and then kind of give you a little tour so are there is an interactive component to this presentation so I want to make sure I I give folks a chance to chat but again if at any given point feel free to drop me if you have any Cummins engine inside and go ahead and share my screen app that works out Gasolina I need customers to share feel free to grab some coffee take a bio break and y'all haven't had a long session say I don't have my coffee and as if you weren't stuck in the waiting room so can I get started all right so can everyone see my screen if it's not it's comes up perfect if we raise your hand  with your hands you can use the zoom functionality to raise your hands are using emojis for reactions whatever you see fit and then again for those of you who do not have access you can request with his form in sauna I know this will be sign up for the dashboard and then I'll make sure to give you access usually within 2-3 days but work more than likely I'll be like 24 hours like within the day as for those who already have access to you what's the nicest already you probably already have access and so the way that would work to do if you would just go to this week here and you would type in your email address and the password here just as an FYI but no worries if you don't have access I'll show you can apologize for what this year you are so with this is actionable data DNC fh4 Autumn for all of us lights now all of you are not familiar with the Shu might be already but we're a national private not-for-profit organization whose mission is to improve the health of farmworkers. and we developed this awkward because we're currently in a 5-year property agreement with the Center for Disease Control and prevention and the goals of the Cooperative agreement itself or to strengthen relations Public Health Emergency Response I'm coordination and I respect a city in partnership with Cece and all of it has been quite covid-19 really enhance Outreach nasty-tasting vaccinations and Zone! I'm in a sort of this Cooperative agreement we were curious and a few critical questions as many of you know if you work in from her house or in sessions or just generally there was a need for data to be able to find worker is fine Farm Workers figure out where they were figure out how what am I doing Outreach to them and figure out how to do it in a culturally competent way data ensure that you were able to really get the most out of your out messages are some of the critical questions that we were looking to answer and I think at this point in the development. I think we're able to answer all of these Sunday the goal of the dashboard itself is to enable farmer cry because such as yourselves or public official such as yourself have easy access to key information and they should be planning and implementation of public health programs and interventions multiple sites across States now that's Red Sox broken up into a few areas the first one used all Farmers page now all farmers locations of self-expression going on but this isn't what the doctor looks like it  I already be familiar with the dashboard but on just answer too quickly aren't you on the left hand side. state county and then you can look at the football Farmers page population the national rankings locations and resources remain metrics of importance Chris that's all dependents as well as number h-2a workers I did not need to get there quickly to see a choropleth map here where the darker Shades in the cheat and lighter Shades in the cake slower, we also give you the option of one of the key pieces of this is the seasonality of I want to hear you can kind of see the number of jobs in a contract contract with Farm Workers in a specific area right you may not really want to do it in probably change my righteous right now find me I doing it to rinse repeat Ira cultural Seasons be better and then here we have 10 a little late if you're interested in running learn that once you know here about data River this year 2017 so on these measures are at Desert 5 p.m. aggregate metrics that are updated every five years so we should be getting you dinner soon but if you're looking for as up-to-date as possible to a workers serve as a good but I do think that all of this quantity is really only useful with information from the ground around and of quality of experience the anecdotal evidence from former crew and I would say that this data is what this is what the dentist says top-level but I think it's important if you're a county or in your state make best use of the Constitution now who's included in the armor for spinach so it includes all directed at me to be there on all corners for a directly hired by the farm and those who are high back on track introduced to a workers undocumented workers other visas and US citizens and it also includes heating in the US and I'll get bread and I'm in trucks to you read the Spanish so it doesn't include Farmer's Table our Farm Workers were no longer working operators or family members work on the farm and the numbers are based on those two boys in that county not necessarily those two reside 796 make a big difference in certain States on when you might have a population of the state that they work in another part of the state and in terms of the limitations of the data the number of workers this includes directly hard workers and contract workers by crop and livestock industry industry comes from directly from the access to the US Census of Agriculture going to be five years the number of contra Christmas itself is estimate on a dollar amount produces report spending on contract labor calculations Happening Here in order to arrive at the movies at least number of workers in proper livestock Industries as reported by the accents can by the USDA suppresses none of these numbers usually happens in this is quite common in national day that's what usually happens when say it's like less than 10 for murderers in Mississippi county where you know who everyone understands that from a are one of the population and that it's important to protect their privacy and you had information Knott County where there's only 10 Farm Workers right then that may not be all that are good to have that beautiful to publicly available for anyone if you're wondering why they might not TV Guide for your county in terms of the number of attendance this is based on the number of the US report of a proper occurs in the workers surveyed and here we assume life more person to see Maverick number of expense this is why do math maybe for some people who you know if you don't got enough person to person that's okay but just kind of we want to let you know that there are several limitations that they are but here with the trike and attendance baseball number h-2a workers in the county since they do not bring the pain that's usually and for the number of jobs by month per state in this is cheesy ewh classify the Bureau of Labor Statistics so they found a different flavors of pay unemployment taxes a likely excuse me pay for contract labor on orders are paid, for some cash table but there are certain some ways of, accounting for that it and employed each month into c w b RS minutes since we know that she CW tends to underestimate number for free again there's a depression happening here as well to protect my privacy Leon so I know some folks do specific h-2a Outreach the second Steve has any questions or any kind of thought so far from anyone I'll be honored in the chat as well so I feel pretty good. If you need that okay send me the onto the edge to a potluck so this is what it looks like it's almost the same but you notice a few key differences between do I have your former because we have more data for h-2b workers at least more or different kinds of data I would say and it has to be a little more up-to-date I'm only because I'm about data and as you can see he has not here were again blue and dark blue and Achieve higher concentration of lower concentration Jessie on the right hand side is gas workers present by month which I think gives you an even better kind of picture of the the seasonality of markers this is also kind of a good practice for when heart disease in the Quran it gets sick because it's likely that you know if you're looking at here in Colorado are looking at July as sort of a season that might be when when there is in highest demand for a stimuli a as most of the Agricultural production is in that time you can also if interested in when farmers are arriving to a specific place in Colorado and look at the gas for arrivals by month this is particularly useful for instance if your say running about Nation clinic and you're targeting Galaxy workers or you're doing it you know and educational Outreach campaign and you're trying to get Workers you know right as they arrived to the US are there certain you know they have fresh eyes and you and made in your little bit of orienting towards kind of the resources in their Community whether it's educational whether that's illegal whether that's health-related if you want to make sure you kind of are able to be there when they get there until we friends the highest arrivals are in we got some may here trying to look like a troll. The way here and last but not least you can see they were guest workers by days employed to this is just sort of a measure of how long contracts are so that may or may not be as useful to folks but it does give you a sense for how long an employer might hire an extra labor for Ljubljana August imitation stayed at the DIA are updated annually we try to say we try to have a full calendar year before we updated their wet where are they going to process now getting all of the time maybe they did that way you have sort of the most updated as possible and leave now we have a full year on the dashboard with maybe a few kind of Sunday to stop coming and maybe for like November and December I'm just now getting my 40 back last but not least we have the national rankings page to hear you have kind of too you have the rank by telephone workers and the rank b o b do I get burgers the value of the national County rankings page I believe is really around being able to do more National planning you know at the at the national level what are really the big honey that are standing that are sending out so for instance in our work at and see if they wanted things were interested in doing is trying to go to areas where we have the highest Farmers across the country in order to make sure that were the best of our abilities doing either h-2a Outreach or other kinds of health-related Outreach to those populations and so will go to the start of the top the highest the top counties in all of the us we also do surveys for friends to go to our website we have a lot of data on vaccinations so yeah we have data on to our SEC a program and surveillance data collection is like a lot of data on how many former crews are fully vaccinated in Mississippi County naked or how many markers are boosted its to the county so that it isn't very valuable I'm just published a paper with the CDC around some of that so just as an FYI use this kind of funny or it's just like more National Outreach or if you want to compare your county to other counties in your state or two other counties in other states this is just a second tab here that looks at H to it any questions so far is he there's AI in the chat now I'm moving on last but not least we have the location and resources map this is Presley my favorite cuz I feel like I need a map to something that we all used in some way or another and the girl kind of a little more familiar with that now to get a math how use it it really does light up a Christmas tree when we kind of put all of the different kinds of d l that we have here, but each. Represents a different kind of former career related organizations to get into what exactly the dots mean so Justin the backboard and I'm at South We Had Each to it works nights and housing sites we have Farms affected by Ocean and the wage now Collision we have Michael Health Center as well as community health centers we have far more conserving organizations and the migrant and seasonal Head Start site and we also have National Pharmacy so we kind of run the gamut of all things related to former group data and Argo really is to create a One-Stop shop for me to make sure that you know no matter what you're looking for the dashboard will be a good resource for everyone and anyone might need to have access to and this is the same thing but in Spanish we got in through the I think the difficult part of the slide and the sort of kind of limitations will do that now I think it's kind of want to thank everyone if you have any specific questions about the data sets you can come me or Bethany at the second email there minus the first punch a reset and see if H and now we're going to get into these ribs so I'm going to stop for a sec to see if you have any thoughts while I kind of pull up the dashboard so any any initial thoughts and initial comments questions thus far I don't see any candy yeah I know where he's got a quiet Bunch today I'm sure everyone's tired from all of us and even attending today is Rio play I'll give everyone a quick minute to see if there's anything you have thoughts on now I will ask see if anyone would like to talk about their state or they're Counting it's going to stay in the chat if you're interested specific 1 all right we got this we got Texas and Arkansas cool cats have a look at those but we have we have some interaction thank you I appreciate y'all so let's start with Arkansas Texas Minnesota Arkansas is right here let's see what I can sell has to show us into the state in Arkansas has roughly 37,000 Farm Workers in items of dependence of former restaurants 58,000 and the most recent data is used for a sewer or 5043 sizable numbers I would say Google map of Arkansas I mean you can see it kind of the dark earlier here is Benton County when you when you hover over it you can see that it has 1370 workers in progress in animal production and just around her 200 in Crop Production as well as if you're going to be mindful of here is just that everything in the dashboard is designed to be certain they're active hover over it you'll likely have kind of more information related to Alexis Benson you it will it will collect in kind of yellow orange bands here as well and you can also look at the national map here again things I wasn't able to show you in the slides and kind of see how it Compares an international map to migratory and seasonal workers if you're interested in cific breakdown two workers are kind of different kinds of classification of random production for instance you would need to have I can mix code naics code that in the caves like how that worker Define width in agriculture and those labor codes indicate to us how what what kind of Pacific tax work are those phone again you can download your data here if you need to make your own grass but at least looking at an ivy friends so if you look at no here in October it's heard of the highest peak of number of jobs and other sister 2021 so now they just think they would be Steve Phelps Martin's alright I kind of whether they can corroborate this the state and say well this is a bit this data is as up-to-date as we can possibly get on the quantity but when it comes to the Quality you know how our folks into war save Benton Benton County Arkansas has seen these Trends chipped in and that way you can kind of really start to really tell a story about what's happening as it relates to foreign labor in and then you can see that at McDonald's and kind of got you the whole thing if you really want to get more specifics and I will point you to the start of her options allow you to be able to see can I have more information on Tuesday said its source and also how do I update it now I believe some of the text so it's go to Texas and the Texas rowing to take out the H do I paid I think maybe I'd like to know 30 seconds or so to update there we go so I would say with Texas you can see the house staggering sum of these numbers are they have over 170,000 for Farm Workers with 240000 pendants and almost 10,000 ties to these numbers are are massive and I think she gives us a really good sort of indication of how the rest of the country might be shifting Trends in terms of farm work while in labor is always I look at some of these larger summer for states to be able to determine kind of house wrens might be changing in other states again we looking at the the highest concentration here you can see the doggo money here and you can see the breakdown again and once again like say you were trying to find a kind of Outreach trip you'd probably you would want to do it you know in October here but look at the H3 page so I do want to show you add more specific areas could you if you would have something you were interested in different scents for guest workers present by month to get you can get really granular here so for instance in all of Texas you're doing a Statewide in a vaccination campaign you might be looking at you. Going in September or October we might be over almost 1,000 workers in any given area if you're interested in nice Farm workers arrive to Texas and obviously they're the preseason is really knocked over but they're not really getting there in October right there really getting there in February and March that sort of an interesting kind of different different point to make in terms of you know at stock Informer has me arriving at Pacific County but actually end up working in another county is there counted in whenever you're not another have accomplished some of these differences and breathing at Allen County your friend since you can see that there is around 1500 h-2a workers present in that tree and here it's kind of how long these these contracts are so in Texas right year long contracts with probably good for this year were they have over 300 daikon remind me that I need to give I didn't even time they see workers could probably contracted to work for the whole year and my night they only returned home at the end of their contract you know my license renewed in summer in the deed as well and here you can catch you the whole different states up to you can go as far back as 2021 so if you're interested in tasting kind of how have the you know the h-2a landscape in Texas your year and the reason we have the initial highlighted it in the dashboard is largely because we've seen a shift between having kind of local population Farm Workers having an increase in H2 a population workers Farm Workers in in all across the United States so we can keep an eye on how much are experiencing used in front of Labor and I know it if you were fqhc you know you didn't order Community Health Center and you're serving a specific kind of bomb worker population you might be Shifting the demographics a shaver is largely tend to be men brinson's and that I might change trying to help services that you might be providing to those people end now I'm in a national rankings I don't think there's much to say she or other than out of the search functionality so for instance if we want to just look at texts because of last but not least in Winsted Minnesota so we're going to go there take a quick trip to the Midwest I can find it this is the former format and we'd really like you to use with 640 Mercury related locations I'm on the right we have a legend of each color a different kind of site and we also have a three links to three different at the referees we have the national immigrant Legal Services directory we have the monitor monitor assistant directory and we have the migrant education program directory can be found in the map itself if needed but that's why we kind of haven't no huge kind of request for those that's kind of how we make the change the. What is it your organization has a specific need and you work with us we might be able to sort of an atom or the back or if you have a national available we might as well so let's look at Minnesota but if we're here now but the one thing you might notice that there's a little little button here on the top left and you can see here if you push on the player and see all of the layers come up here so that's one of the things I think sometimes gets lost in the map is Joshua can choose any like other all sorts of different kinds of layers throughout and rather focus on here is H2 a house inside so we can also look at farms you know what I just look at all of them might as well map to visually a crowded but let's look at Minnesota and we'll look at like 9 and you can see the exact address of this very far are you might be able to visit if you contact the employer prior and then ask them for permission to visit Russia to sort of either stick to their former Cruiser speak to other co-workers Morrison County and you can kind of see the employment begin and end dates for the history of the same color too though so that might give you pain that bad location only has like you too bad I wish means that in all likelihood you probably wouldn't find more of that too, Bruce working at that area but we can look at an age to a worksite so may living in that work site with a dairy farm is only the living there and they might work elsewhere to hear is an H2 works out called Northstar Hardwoods and they write to hear that you know exact location if you wanted to reach out the bone and a city as well as any other information needed and there's also job order link which kind of exactly what you actually don't get you don't have specific information facts I can find one that actually does so here for instance here's a work site this is the nursery, Bergen's Nursery and he look at the total XP work as requested I get the others 31 so that mean Alice Braga vs. There might be up to 31 workers there and forever verses that might actually be a good a good site to visit if you have permission from the employer to talk to you may be able to do any of that mother education whether it's legal you know what have you and then look at the yellow dots here which are not want to see the yellow. So then you have to zoom in a little more kind of get out what you need cool pictures of farm that inspected by what does it. It and so they'll know it's back from farms and they created as a result so that these aren't all forms right but he did you tell me the number of employees isn't the kind of how many workers might be at the farm they're pretty. I would say and it just really depends on what kind of work that you're doing or that kind of work that you're interested in for the kind of the year that you need but as a whole I fill out the map he is a very hang out with triplets running kind of the wreck service work but I think I'll sometimes the super helpful and we hope that they related farmer cruise that are publicly available I ain't the one easy-to-access easy-to-use place the real challenge right is that I is the fact that we have all of the states old is really wonderful wonderful beautiful day. You know that it's available all in one place and so I think because we want to protect the one ability of farmworkers we often times do not but rather we do not like just have the dashboard out there so we have to go to their website and you have to request access I'm just as the way of kind of making sure that we're not putting all of this very kind of maybe I'm out their until it's kind of a wet as a way of preventing by doctors but if you're wondering for a while you have to request access that's why because of via can predict you know very granular last finale we have a source of section and it gives you kind of Morin to death information on all of the metrics as well as data sources links disclaimers All That Jazz I'm in there working on some training videos have those up and running this year and will be able to kind of get to the dashboard like I just did hear as a way of kind of being able to give you some more information if you needed a frequently asked questions well and if you click here this takes you directly for website so that's it I mean I can go on and on but I'm not going to cuz I want to make sure that the see if there's anyone who has come questions and discussion or irie love hearing about the work that y'all do so specifically any kind of use cases like anything that you would think you might use that before 4 South Bend if there's any thoughts where do we request access to the stash yes I will put the link in the chat now so you can fill that out you can request access to our website and it should take you straight to the form we can request taxes a perfect guy so cool so we actually just did a training with color Atlas Energy program talked about what it means to find Farm Workers to recruit them and also to determine there any tea eligibility status so that sometimes I can be very difficult by yeah one of the things you might really want to use is the h-2a workers have to give you kind of sensor seasonality trying to find former Cruise or maybe even the locations and resources to have that allows you to see exactly where I'm at and give them to be able to do I don't reach out if I can get difficult but at the very least you can get a sense for where we're from a r r i e if you are doing any prh please let us know if you used that work as we love to hear kind of how you used it where was kind of curious and kind of how folks are able to use the Blackboard. we would like us to use that we want to be useful that we want to make sure that you can walk out of this you know Sebastian and feel as though we are empowered by data to be able to kind of either do farmer Outreach if you're not doing it already or implement this throw into your into your already kind of tool box of workloads I'm just kind of one more tool that you can use to the pool from whenever you do not responding whenever you're doing and you keep letting whenever your kind of you know thinking about in any capacity or I think some folks talk about Staffing something that they are interested in using this for so for instance if they know that tell there is a lot of Farm Workers arriving in the Pacific in the Minnesota here yo in the summer months in mind I increase their staff during those months with temporary kind of you know some of workers to make sure that they have not reached for PS4 that's not very busy. and I see folks are already requesting access to thank you like I said I will review those to make sure that everyone has a chance let's see what does the acronym h2ad mean to know that I never forgotten that question let's see I have no idea Madison has a sister like the USCIS kind of definitions of different kinds of cheeses you know there's like a it's like tourist visas Ashley said it's temporary agricultural program in the hobbits short phrase to wear but that sounds right to me there's a lot of really interesting acronyms for used formerly known as the shuttle program or program I believe and I'm eating a banana I'm not too entirely sure about kind of what the what the age of the two are the 80% someone said how can I get a list of h-2a Farms from the dashboard Seattle there are places where you can download I ran out she said that h-2b is on agriculture book on the names of these diseases and also understanding that at least doesn't work with h-2b visas only work with agriculture workers are admission but I do think that's a bummer. any other thoughts before I exit out of the dashboard I have a question do you have a copy the contract for the workers or Ranch yeah so you can download the data here for a co-worker's for specific State friends has taken its download data here or if you want to go to the store the data you could go to is the the Texas riogrande Legal Services the tralala h288 application allows you to be able to fool the data from the Department Labor if you want more specific kind of be at this Warehouse from if anyone is interested all right well that concludes the session thank everyone for participating everyone for being here thank you for your time I'll stick around for a few more questions but you're officially dismissed the rest your day are you allowed to ask take me to Reedsburg coming in to share all this valuable information I know we've had our share in our region are in Texas it's very valuable information so that we can go out there and recruit some of the workers and come and find out if they're working at coming and they don't bring the family sometimes I do bring up and it's a good resource to have for recruiting have anybody have any other questions I can put in the shed or they can unmute themselves I do want to remind you that once you leave them some session you will be getting an evaluation so I highly recommend that you fill it out so you can give us any feedback on the session any of the other stations or any sessions that you would like for us to resent in the Future 2 we'd like to thank you for a joining us today and it was a lie we got it good to it like to see you tomorrow thank you stop recording
