Shining Light on Farm & Food Policy for 20 Years.

Six Florida companies whose H-2A applications to hire truck drivers were denied by the Labor Department may get some relief as the result of a court decision Monday.
The Department of Labor will no longer require agricultural producers to place advertisements for H-2A jobs in print newspapers, in a move designed to boost recruiting for workers and save employers money.
A sweeping proposed overhaul of the H-2A farm labor program would have varying impacts on worker wages, while cutting farmers’ transportation expenses and reducing the number of applications farms have to file to import employees.
