Food security is national security. When workers can work legally and safely, farms gain the stability they need to stay open, invest in their businesses, and keep America’s food system strong.
For decades, farmers have raised the alarm, calling on every administration to create a system that lets farmers keep feeding our nation; and they are still waiting for a president to answer that call and reach a real solution.
Dairy, livestock, and produce operations run 24/7, 365 days a year — and they need highly skilled workers who can do the same.
We need bipartisan solutions that allow employers to hire and retain the workers they already depend on — legally.
When family farms lose workers, rural communities suffer and grocery prices rise.
A secure agricultural workforce means stronger farms and affordable food for all Americans.
We bring together farmers, business leaders, and policymakers to find commonsense solutions that strengthen America’s agricultural workforce.
We elevate the voices of agricultural producers on the front lines, ensuring lawmakers understand what’s at stake for America’s food security.
We work with leaders across the political spectrum to modernize outdated immigration policies and build a workforce system that reflects the 24/7 nature of American agriculture.
From Capitol Hill briefings to statewide roundtables, we bring this conversation to the public — sharing our message that a secure agricultural workforce keeps farms open, food affordable, and communities strong.
One piece of legislation that accomplishes all three of these pillars is the bipartisan Farm Workforce Modernization Act.
“Without having a secure workforce we can't have a secure food supply, and without a secure food supply we can't have a secure nation.”
Steve ObertExecutive Director of Indiana Dairy Producers and ABIC member
“We need immigration reform that provides both border security and solves our labor challenges.”
Beth FordCEO and President of Land O’Lakes
“We don’t grow food in this country without immigrants. Period.”
