Ag Labor Reform Sought

House Agriculture Committee Glenn ‘GT’ Thompson plans to introduce an agricultural labor bill that is expected to include changes to the H-2A visa program. Mark Anderson is on the  U.S. Custom Harvesters Inc. board and said something needs to change to address the ag labor shortage. “The farmers need a program that allows these workers to stay,” said Andrerson. “Work authorization is not a citizenship. This work authorization allows you to work here and then go home.”
