Addressing Dairy's Labor Challenges

Federal immigration policies have not adapted to the needs of modern dairy farming. It is crucial to address the workforce challenges affecting dairy farms nationwide, and the Securing Agriculture Workforce Act (SAWA) offers a practical solution that would help provide workforce stability while maintaining accountability.

SAWA: Expanding Access to Agricultural Labor

House Agriculture Committee Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson's legislation would remove the requirement that eligible jobs be seasonal, allowing year-round operations to participate through temporary employment contracts. It would also make required wages more predictable, streamline applications through a single online platform and reduce administrative burdens for employers and returning workers.
