BIPARTISAN MEMBERS PLOT ROADMAP TO EASE FARM LABOR CRISIS

Statement

“It’s no secret in the agriculture community that the H-2A program is too complex and has failed to provide our agricultural producers with a dependable workforce during busy times of the year. After months of roundtables, meetings, and surveys we have developed a final report with comprehensive, bipartisan policy reforms that better serve our nation’s agriculture sector. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Co-Chairman Davis on leading such an important effort. The fact that our working group was able to agree on so many significant reforms is a testament to how widespread the H-2A program’s problems are and how quickly they need to be addressed. Now, we have to keep working with the committees of jurisdiction to make sure they implement our recommendations”
