CHAIRMAN THOMPSON, RANKING MEMBER SCOTT ANNOUNCE BIPARTISAN WORKING GROUP TACKLING AGRICULTURE WORKFORCE CHALLENGES

Statement

Date: June 21, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Agriculture and Food

"The Committee on Agriculture has heard loud and clear from producers across the nation that one of the biggest challenges confronting the agriculture industry is a lack of reliable labor. Though not directly in our committee's jurisdiction, we have a responsibility to be a voice in Congress on the issues and policies impacting farmers and ranchers. This is a complex problem that deserves the focused attention of the Members who hear from producers every day rather than the partisan grandstanding that has plagued these efforts in the past."
