Tarleton, Preston, UK 31st May, 2016. Contracted migrant labourers picking the first crop of lettuce for market as the continuing warm weather makes for a good growing season in this market gardening area. Many migrant farmworkers are hired to work on farms through intermediaries, often called "farm labor contractors" or "crewleaders." Other farmers in the area offer caravan accommodation for the seasonal immigrant workers. The area is a large employer of EU Nationals during the summer months.
