Plan for Agricultural Services
Agricultural Outreach Plan (AOP)
Region: Weld County
For Program Year(s) PY 24 - PY 25
July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025
Wagner-Peyser (W -P) Agricultural Outreach Plan (AOP)
Summary of Submission Requirements
The Agricultural Outreach Plan sets policies, and objectives in providing W -P services to the
agricultural community, specifically Migrant and Seasonal Farm Workers (MSFWs). The
Colorado Department of Labor & Employment (CDLE) provides these services through the
Colorado Workforce Centers, ensuring that MSFWs receive the full range of employment,
training, and educational services on a basis, which is qualitatively equivalent and
quantitatively proportionate to the services provided to non-MSFWs. This Ag Plan presents
the following information:
Assessment of need: An assessment of the unique needs of farmworkers in the area
based on past and projected agricultural and farmworker activity in your service
delivery area to include employment, training, and housing. A review of the resources
available and their effectiveness is included.
Outreach activities: A description of ways the Region will ensure that MSFWs have
equal access to employment opportunities. A description of the Region's proposed
outreach activities including strategies on how to contact farmworkers who are not
being reached by the normal intake activities conducted by the employment service
offices to include numerical goals and amount of full-time staff.
Services provided to MSFWs through the One -Stop Delivery System: A
description of ways the Region will ensure that MSFWs have equal access to
employment opportunities. Coordinating outreach efforts with WIOA Title I section
167 grantees (Rocky Mountain SER) and other public and private community service
agencies and MSFW groups. These outreach activities will include the explanation of
services available at the one -stop centers, explanation of their basic rights and the
marketing of the employment services complaint system.
• Services provided to agricultural employers through the One -Stop Delivery
System: A description of how the Region will promote and provide labor exchange
services and identify agricultural employers expected to employ MSFWs.
• Review and comment from key stakeholders
Once the State Office (CDLE) receives all Region's plans, A combined State Plan
will be made available for review by stakeholders.
Assessment of Need (MSFWs):
Provide an assessment of the unique needs of farmworkers in the area based on past and
projected agricultural and farm work activity in your service delivery area. Such needs may
include but are not limited to Employment, Training, and Housing.
In Weld County, Migrant Seasonal Farmworkers (MSFWs) need access to affordable
housing and health care including behavioral health, counseling services; no -cost
English as a Second Language (ESL) classes; translation services; education, training,
and upskilling in their native language; accessible resources for undocumented
individuals, more specifically immigration assistance; and assistance with food and
clothing.
Provide an assessment of the unique needs of farmworkers by summarizing Migrant and
Seasonal Farm Worker (MSFW) characteristics (including if they are predominantly from certain
countries, what language(s) they speak, the approximate number of MSFWs in your service
delivery area during peak season and during low season, and whether they tend to be Migrant,
Seasonal, or year-round farmworkers).
Note: You should take into account data supplied by Rocky Mountain SER, Migrant Education Program, employer
organizations, other MSFW organizations and Federal State and Local agency data sources. if it is easier for your
region to use a table, please paste your table below or type in your information below.
Weld County continues to see significant drop in migrant and seasonal farmworkers. It
is believed that the major factor is lack of affordable housing. Plaza del Sol is unable to
hold units for migrant workers as they did in the past, which means families risk coming
here and not having a place to stay. Multiple growers who have been interviewed, have
voiced the same concem. Finding reliable local workers has become increasingly
difficult, especially for labor-intensive crops. Because of the growing labor shortage,
more and more farmers are tuming to the H -2A temporary visa program. Even though
the program is not cheap, it offers certainty that growers will have people available to
harvest their crops.
Mexico is the predominate country of origin of Weld Counties farmworkers. Majority of
farmworkers are foreign -born individuals from Mexico and countries in Central America,
with many lacking authorizations to work legally in the United States. In recent years,
farmworkers have become mom settled, fewer migrating long distances from home to
work, and fewer pursuing seasonal follow -the -crop migration. The number of young,
recent immigrants working in agriculture has also fallen and as a result, the farm
workforce is aging. Most of these workers speak Spanish but recently we have noticed
several indigenous dialects such as Huichol, Mayan Yucatan, Mixteco-Nahuatl, Trique-
Tarasco and Zapoteco speakers. At times it is challenging to find translation services for
these dialects. These farmworkers do struggle with identifying with the outreach worker
due to language barriers which makes it harder to provide services and gain trust from
the indigenous community.
As stated previously, most of the agricultural worker population in Weld County consists
of seasonal farmworkers who do not hold legal status in the United States; therefore,
they lack the work authorization needed to obtain other employment opportunities.
Partner agencies have also provided feedback regarding the demographics of MSFWs
they have served, and they also find that lack of legal status is a barrier to employment
and services.
Even those that can receive services are afraid of providing any personal information to
a government agency. They are scared that releasing any information will affect their
immigration status in the future. It is the goal of this agency to identify MSFWs who need
placement services and make efforts to provide suitable employment referrals.

Please include any other comments, special circumstances, and special mention of other crops
not in the top five, or factors that may have caused a big change in crops or acreages.
No major changes are anticipated for traditional agricultural productivity in 2024.
Approximately 2000 MSFWs are expected in the Weld County area for the coming year.
Major crops, with the exception of sugar beets, potatoes and corn, are expected to be
planted and harvested using hand labor. Area crew leaders will be handling most of the
hand labor work for this area. Interviewed seasonal growers in the area, have stated that
crop production will remain the same. No new commitments have been made due to the
labor shortage.
Agricultural Employer Needs in the Service Delivery Area
Summarize the agricultural employer's needs in the region (i.e. are they predominantly hiring
local or foreign workers, are they expressing that there is a scarcity in the agricultural
workforce).
Agricultural employers are challenged with finding domestic job applicants who meet the
qualifications for the available positions. Many have turned to the H -2A program to find
sufficient workers to harvest their crops. In addition, the impacts of lack of housing have
heavily affected the migrant labor pool. Many farmworkers are staying at their homebase
due to fear of not having a place to stay once they arrive.
Outreach Activities
The local offices outreach activities must be designed to meet the needs of MSFWs in the
Service Delivery area and to locate and contact MSFWs who are not being reached through
normal intake activities. Describe your agency's proposed strategies for:
(1) Contacting farmworkers who are not being reached by the normal intake activities
conducted by the Workforce Center offices.
Weld County will continue to coordinate and develop partnerships with community
partners to increase access to MSFWs within the community. Employment Services,
Rocky Mountain SER, Sunrise Community Health, Migrant Education and Centro de la
Family/Headstart, will play key roles in the coordination of outreach staff throughout the
Migrant and Seasonal Farmworker season. Activities will include the outreach worker
working one day out of the Rocky Mountain SER location, attending parent meetings,
mobile health fairs, and joint field visits.
Outreach staff will cross train outside agency staff to identify appropriate MSFW clients
and provide Workforce Center services, which include registration information and
referrals to available programs within the workforce center.
Outreach staff will attend community agency events with an emphasis in reaching
MSFWs and providing workforce center registrations as well as information on workforce
center programs and services.
Employment Services will continue to take an active role in both the Northem Area
Migrant Coalition and Colorado State Migrant Coalition. ESWC will focus on establishing
direct connections with other service providers with an emphasis on implementing new
ways to identify MSFW populations and the sharing of agency services.
(2) Providing technical assistance to outreach staff. Technical assistance must include
trainings, conferences, additional resources, and increased collaboration with other
organizations on topics such as Workforce Center services including:
• Availability of referrals to training
Supportive services
Career services
Specific employment opportunities
Employment Service and Employment -Related Law Complaint System
("Complaint System" described at 20 CFR 658 Subpart E)
Information on the other organizations serving MSFWs in the area
Basic summary of farmworker rights including
o Rights in respect to terms and conditions of employment
o New Colorado Agricultural Labor Rights and Responsibilities Act
(ALRRA)
All MSFW participants are made aware of farmworker rights with respect to the terms
and conditions of employment.
All outreach staff are encouraged to attended available trainings provided by the
Colorado Department of Labor and Employment (CDLE) or other State agencies to
refresh and enhance their knowledge on rules, guidelines, and processes. When
needed, outreach staff are provided technical assistance and the State Monitor
Advocate provides training modules and tools throughout the year.
(3) Increasing outreach staff training and awareness across core programs including the
Unemployment Insurance (UI) program and the training on identification of UI eligibility
issues.
Weld County collaborates with agencies and organizations on the federal, state, and
local levels that might be able to assist with regular concerns expressed by Colorado's
agricultural communities. Outreach worker will continue to seek opportunities to keep
current with new trends in farming, monitoring publications and newsletters related to
agriculture, as well as networking through outreach to various organizations at available
public meetings.
Employment Services of Weld County has a Memorandum of Understanding with the
Division of Unemployment Insurance. As pad of our agreement, customers utilizing the
Workforce Center will have access to UI expertise through a hotline or other technology
solutions offered by the UI Division in the comprehensive One -Stop resource room. The
UI Division will make representatives with UI expertise available via Web chat or other
technology solutions to provide specific, individualized information to each customer
regarding all aspects of unemployment, including filing a claim, eligibility requirements and
how it may relate to the individual's circumstances. ESWC Staff have basic knowledge
concerning the unemployment insurance processes related to basic eligibility, applying for
unemployment insurance benefits, claimant rights and responsibilities. Staff have access
to MYUI+ website to view and identify possible issues with regard to individual claims. If
requested or if the individual is identified as needing services due to barriers such as
limited English proficiency, disabilities, or other barriers, staff can provide reasonable
accommodations.
All staff have access to online training modules and resources through the Department
of Labor and Employment website for core programs, including unemployment insurance
benefits. Outreach workers use this information to ensure MSFWs are aware of the
different programs and services available through the workforce system as well as their
potential eligibility for Reemployment Assistance benefits.
(4) Providing outreach staff professional development activities to ensure they are able to
provide high quality services to both job seekers and employers.
Outreach workers are expected to refresh their knowledge of policies and procedures
through online training, as well as through in -person training and webinars offered by the
State Monitor Advocate (SMA) at Colorado Department of Labor and Employment and
any enforcement agency. Refresher training and farm labor compliance training is
provided by the State Monitor Advocate. The training includes guest speakers from state
and federal enforcement agencies such as the United States Department of Labor
(USDOL) Wage and Hour Division, Occupational Safety and Health Administration
(OSHA) and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. The SMA also presents
workshops on Wagner-Peyser services and requirements, the Employment Service and
Employment -Related Law Complaint System and Foreign Labor Certification Job
Orders, among others. These workshops provide outreach workers and other staff with
knowledge necessary to discuss farmworker rights with MSFWs onsite and during
outreach.
(5) In Significant Office locations — Provide assurance that a Full -Time Outreach Worker is
assigned for outreach and outreach related duties year-round.
Weld County is considered a significant office in a Significant State therefore will ensure
full-time, year-round outreach staff to conduct outreach duties. ESWC's Seasonal
FarmworkerAdvisor is multilingual and completes outreach related duties year-round.
(6) Coordinating outreach efforts with Rocky Mountain SER-NFJP grantees as well as with
public and private community service agencies and MSFW groups.
Weld County's outreach worker works closely with Rocky Mountain SER (National
FarmworkerJobs Program Grantee) and currently works out of their location once a
week. This ensures Rocky Mountain SER participants are aware of all workforce
services and co -enrollments when possible. Both the outreach worker and Rocky
Mountain SER ensure MSFWs are aware of all Workforce services and available full-
time employment opportunities outside agriculture and/or higher paying jobs within
agriculture. Weld County also works with Migrant Education and Migrant Health
programs to provided needed services to MSFW participants.
The MSFW outreach worker continues to maintain good relationships with community
groups, public agencies and advocacy groups involved in the welfare of farmworkers.
Services provided to farmworkers and agricultural employers through the one -stop (WFC)
delivery system. Describe your agency's proposed strategies for:
(A) Providing the full range of employment and training services to the agricultural community,
both farmworkers and agricultural employers, through the one -stop (WFC) delivery system.
Please include the following:
(i) How career and training services required under WIOA Title I will be provided to
MSFWs through the Workforce Center
As required, Weld County will ensure that both the Greeley and Fort Lupton One -Stop
centers offer MSFWs the full range of career and supportive services, benefits,
protections, job and training referral services as provided to non-MSFWs. All MSFWs
who visit the Workforce Center will be informed of the various types of employment and
training services available under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (W/OA)
Title I, as well as WIOA partner resources available in the area.
Should an MSFW be eligible for WIOA services, their assigned Navigator will complete a
Comprehensive Assessment and work with them to develop an Individual Employment
Plan. This allows an intensive assessment of needs, identifying supportive services, if
the person would benefit from workshops, such as resume, interviewing, or our Spanish
only workshop. The CA/IEP will also identify if the person qualifies under another Priority
of Services area such as criminal offender or individual with disabilities. Please note, by
this time in the process, MSFW's have already been identified as military Veterans (or
eligible spouses), have received Priority of Service and been assessed for Jobs for State
Veterans Grant services.
(ii) How the local office serves agricultural employers and how it intends to improve such
services. (Please include what services will be provided along with your response)
Outreach campaigns, such as participation in industry events and conferences, and
collaboration with agricultural associations and organizations.
Streamlined Employer registration process in Connecting Colorado. This can involve
providing step-by-step guidance and offering assistance with registration and
reinforcing to the employer that this enhances job posting and matching.
Employer Consultation Services: Offer personalized consultation services to
agricultural employers, providing guidance on labor market trends, recruitment
strategies, workforce development, and compliance with labor laws and regulations.
Feedback Mechanisms: Establish channels for agricultural employers to provide
feedback on the services received and suggestions for improvement. Regularly
review and act upon the feedback received to enhance the quality and effectiveness
of the services provided.
(B) Marketing the Complaint System to farmworkers and other farmworker advocacy groups.
ESWC's outreach worker will educate farmworkers about the complaint system through in -
person visits and by posting on -site posters that inform readers of the complaint system and
how to obtain additional assistance with filing complaints. Staff will also continue to educate
partner organizations of the complaint system during meetings and formal contacts.
Posters are located in both Greeley and Fort Lupton offices with instructions on how and
where to file a complaint. Staff is trained, at a minimum, annually on the complaint process.
additionally, when clients update or do an initial registration on Connecting Colorado, the
Equal Opportunity (EO) statement is provided to each client along with information on how
to file a complaint with us.
(C) Marketing the Agricultural Recruitment,System for U.S. Workers (ARS) to agricultural
employers and how it intends to improve such publicity.
The Agricultural Recruitment System (ARS) is used by the local offices throughout the state
to prove that Colorado has enough workers to refer and fill job orders posted by agricultural
employers. Colorado markets ARS to agricultural employers to improve its publicity and
utilizes the following methods:
Connecting Colorado online system
In person field visits
ESWC staff will promote during Agricultural related events and leadership will
promote during community meetings and forums which include agricultural
employers
Weld County Business Services staff conducts file searches in the system for qualified
applicants and contacts these individuals via phone calls or emails to notify them of these
openings. Staff works closely with employers to fill job orders and match applicants based
on the skills required and needed for the position/s.

and establish new partners over the next four years (including any approximate timelines for
establishing agreements or building upon existing agreements).
Note: Four-year information is only needed when the four-year plan is due, all other plans will only include any
new/changing plans for the year.
Previously, most local areas were operating with the understanding that if a certain
partner was not located in the area, a Memorandum of Understanding was not required.
In the past year, the Chief Elected Official and the Weld County Workforce Development
Board established an MOU demonstrating that the Governing Board offers several
programs through the Weld County Department of Human Services, which may include
employment and training activities. Additionally, a new MOU was pursued with the
newest Job Corps vendor.
Data Assessment
Review the previous four years Wagner-Peyser Act data reports on performance. Note whether
the Local Region has been meeting its goals to provide MSFWs quantitatively proportionate
services as compared to non-MSFWs i.e. PIRL Reporting requirements. If it has not met these
goals, explain why the Local Region believes such goals were not met and how they intend to
improve its provision of services in order to meet such goals.
Weld County has continuously met its goals of providing services to MSFWs on a
quantitatively proportionate level as those provided to non-MSFWs. MSFW Indicators of
Compliance Reports for the past four program years show all five equity ratio indicators
are met. These indicators are referrals to jobs, referrals to supportive services, received
staff -assisted services, career guidance and job development contacts.
