“We appreciate U.S. Representatives Salazar and Escobar, along with a bipartisan group of members, for including meaningful agricultural labor reform provisions in their reintroduction of the Dignity Act. The domestic labor shortage remains one of agriculture’s greatest challenges, impacting farmers today and jeopardizing the future of American agriculture. Congress must address this workforce crisis threatening farms across the U.S. so our producers can continue to grow, feed, clothe and fuel our nation.”
