Ag Labor Reform is Next on GT Thompson’s To-Do List

(Washington, D.C.) While the Farm Bill 2.0 is front and center for House Ag Committee Chair GT Thompson of Pennsylvania, ag labor reform is high on the priority list. He said when the farm bill moves on to the Senate, it’s on to reforming the H-2A program.

Well, sure. I think in the not-too-distant future, it’ll be after this farm bill gets sent to the Senate, we’ll be releasing for a discussion draft, a bill that would really modernize the H2A program, make sure it works for year-round agriculture, something that increases access, and some common-sense changes to it.”

Pushing visa reform over the finish line is a long-overdue accomplishment.
