The Agricultural Labor Working Group will focus on the workforce issues faced by United States agricultural producers. One of the biggest challenges confronting the agriculture industry is a lack of reliable labor.
The working group will:
- Seek input from stakeholders, employers, and workers, particularly emphasizing the H-2A visa program for nonimmigrant agricultural workers;
- Produce an interim report detailing the program's shortcomings and the impacts on food security, and;
- File a final report with recommendations to address the flaws within the program.
The final report of the working group will provide a suite of potential solutions that can inform and be utilized in subsequent legislative efforts.
