One of the most pressing issues facing agriculture is labor; how do we secure reliable farm labor to fill not only seasonal needs, but year-round need?

Beyond the seasonal labor options, there are permanent labor solutions for farmworkers and other lower-skilled position through the U.S. Department of Labor’s Permanent Labor Certification program. For many years, this option was not possible due to long waiting periods for this particular green card category. However, these wait times have decreased sufficiently to make this a viable option.
