      abstract = {Reliance on foreign guest workers, rising minimum wages,  and corporate social responsibility are three trends  emerging within the Florida agricultural economy,  particularly among labor-intensive specialty crop farms.  These trends are creating higher costs and pushing  employers into new management relationships with their  farmworkers. On one hand, higher costs compromise the  competitive position of agricultural operations. On the  other hand, new management strategies could increase  overall worker productivity, offset some administrative  costs associated with labor management, and create new  avenues of market access for their products. The success to  which agricultural employers adjust to these trends with  cost effective management strategies likely will determine  their long-term economic success.},
