Members of the National Association of State Departments of Agriculture are calling for federal action on several critical issues affecting farmers and ranchers.
Senior Director of Public Policy RJ Karney tells Brownfield during their recent during their Winter Policy Conference state ag directors, secretaries, and commissioners voted for federal agencies to address ag labor shortages and challenges with the H-2A visa program.
“We hear consistently, whenever our state departments of ag members are talking with their farmers and ranchers across their states, agriculture workforce is the number one issue,” he says.
