They're not American farm workers. American farm workers are all Mexican. (Americans refuse to do farm work, preferring instead to complain about how Mexicans are "stealing their jobs".)

Ahem--you're in the wrong decade, John. These are American farm workers of the 1930s.

You're welcome.
Post office murals were painted under a New Deal-era law that created the WPA (Work Progress Administration) by which artisans and craftspeople were employed by the government so as to get a paycheck. Such murals adorn post offices across the country.
