can you tell me how Mexicans work in agriculture in the US?
<|assistant|>
Mexicans make up a large proportion of agricultural workers in the US and are a critical part of the US agricultural labor market. In the US, Mexican-American workers account for about one-third of total agricultural workers and 40 percent of crop farmers. They specialize in growing vegetables, fruits, cotton, nuts, grains, and other specialty crops such as tobacco, flowers, and turkeys. Additionally, many Mexican-American farmers own and operate small livestock operations for poultry and hogs. Due to their work in the US agricultural industry, the average income of Mexican households in the US is much higher than the national average. The large presence of Mexican farmworkers also means that they make a significant contribution to the economy of the US.
