S ag workers By Wes Sander Capital Press

SALEM, Ore. — John Moyer says he’s never faced work prospects like these. A lifelong cowboy, Moyer has worked for ranchers around Heppner, Ore., since the 1980s. Just before Thanksgiving, he and his wife, Celia, simultaneously lost the jobs they had held for several years on a local ranch. Moyer said it was a first in two respects: his first time being laid off, and his first time leaving a job with no prospects in hand. “There’s not much work out there doing anything,”he said. “We’ve been looking around, but there’s just not that much work.” Moyer has thus joined an apparent- ly growing number of agricultural workers finding it unusually difficult to find new employment in the trades they know. While accurate counts remain elusive, evidence suggests large numbers of unemployed workers who may not return to agriculture. Now 63, Moyer started cowboying as a youngster raised in Oklahoma, taught by his father. To keep his income steady, he worked for two decades for a local school district, but AP photo never stopped cowboying on the side, Mel Brekke, owner of Brekke’s Town & Country Store, talks Friday about the predicted shortage of certain types of vegetable seeds this summer in Ames, Iowa. breaking and training horses.
