Ryan Haffner is with U.S. Custom Harvesters Inc. and uses the H-2A visa program for his operation in Kansas. “We’ve been going through this multiple times now since the beginning of the pandemic. It seems like in a roundabout way we’ve built a program for working around this for South Africa and some other countries but mostly South Africa,” Haffner says.
