Up here in Alberta, the current provincial government (been in just shy of four years) introduced a new farm safety bill for farm workers a while back. There was no coverage for farm workers before. Big firestorm, the farm owners were against it of course, they had to pay for workman's compensation fees to participate (no option) and they didn't want to. They used all sorts of excuses (including the fact that a lot of their workers were family and shouldn't be into that category of worker). Meanwhile, there is a provincial election next week and the new guy who will likely/probably win is running on a platform that he will discontinue that coverage for farm workers. I guess he is guessing that there are more farm owners than there are farm workers, not sure. That kind of a decision though is a tough one but like all political stuff, the side you are on depends on how much money it's gonna cost you. My opinion is that rolling it back to no coverage shows very little respect and acknowledgement to farm workers in the workplace.
