A dairy group is hopeful Congress moves quickly on a foreign labor bill when recess is over.
Mykel Wedig is the Associate Director of Government Affairs for Edge Dairy Farmer Cooperative. She says Congress must first finish the appropriations process since they need to fund the government by Sept 30th. “That will take up a lot of space in the next two months, but then past that, ag labor is something that they can make some movement on.”
Wedig says the Farm Workforce Modernization Act passed the House, but the Senate is only beginning work on the bill.
