AgNet Weekly: Representative Doug LaMalfa on Farm Labor Working Group

Congress is looking into farm labor needs around the nation, but it is a challenging task. The House Agriculture Committee recently announced the creation of the bipartisan Agricultural Labor Working Group, which will focus on the workforce issues faced by agricultural producers around the nation. Congressman and farmer Doug LaMalfa of California joins host Sabrina Halvorson to discuss the group and the nation’s ag labor needs.

Each week we highlight essential legislative and policy conversations affecting agriculture nationwide. Host Sabrina Halvorson is a 30-year media veteran known nationally for her award-winning, balanced, and accurate reporting.

AgNet Weekly also traverses the legislative issues of the livestock industry and other matters related to California and Southeast agriculture.
