Farmers are finally getting the labor relief they’ve begged for years — thanks to the Securing Agriculture’s Workforce Act, backed by House Agriculture Chairman Glenn Thompson. This isn’t just tweaking the H-2A visa program — it’s a game-changer designed to bring year-round, reliable help to farms that never shut down for holidays or seasons. With over 415,000 agricultural jobs advertised in 2025 and barely 180,000 domestic applicants, the gap is crushing rural economies and threatening our food supply. Cows need milking daily — and workers need security. Now, the American Business Immigration Coalition’s Agricultural Council is officially on board, calling this legislation essential for a stable, legal workforce and a resilient food system. This is practical, long-term thinking — giving farmers the labor they need and workers the certainty they deserve.
