The American Dairy Coalition released a united letter of support today on behalf of our nation’s dairy, agriculture and livestock producers and agriculture industry businesses, representing thousands of businesses that have been waiting for a program that ensures a viable labor force.

Associations, businesses and individuals signed on in support on an new immigration reform bill, introduced today by Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA), chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. The Agricultural Guestworker Act (AG Act) will create a new, workable agricultural guest-worker program.

“Our country, and especially our agriculture industry, has been waiting for more than 20 years for positive immigration reform. We commend Chairman Bob Goodlatte’s dedication, understanding and ambition to provide a legal guest-worker program that will assist with the current agriculture labor shortages, add many new jobs for domestic workers and spur economic growth. “

The Agricultural Guestworker Act replaces the cumbersome and costly H-2A guestworker program with a reliable H-2C visa program, which covers year-round employees and allows experienced, unauthorized workers to continue working.

The House Judiciary Committee has released a “Notice of Markup” to be held on Wednesday, Oct. 4, 2017 at 10 a.m. at 2141 Rayburn House Office Building.
