At the Board of County Commissioners meeting on March 14, 2023, Mayor Weiss presented a proclamation declaring March 25-31, 2023 as National Farmworker Awareness Week in Palm Beach County. Farmworkers perform essential but often underappreciated duties in potentially dangerous workplaces that include heavy machinery operation, application of crop protection products and physically demanding outdoor environmental conditions. National Farmworker Awareness Week is an opportunity to affect positive change, stand in solidarity with the people who feed our nation, bring attention to the multiple challenges farmworkers face and recognize the important contributions they make to our daily lives.
