A bipartisan group of House members advanced the Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2021 out of the U.S. House of Representatives on March 18, 2021, with a vote of 247-174. As it awaits action in the Senate, Republicans in the Senate fear it would provide amnesty and not actually solve the labor shortages facing the ag sector.
Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack testified July 21 during the “Immigrant Farmworkers are Essential to Feeding America” Judiciary Committee hearing and shared the full economic contribution of the food and agriculture industries is estimated to be nearly $7 trillion and supporting more than 40 million jobs – nearly 20 million directly and more than 20 million in supplier industries.
