Michigan grows labor program

摘要

Two years ago, when seasonal farm labor began getting scarce in the Midwest, Michigan Farm Bureau leadership looked to the Washington fruit industry's handling of the same problem. In February 2015, the Farm Bureau formed a company called the Great Lakes Agricultural Labor Services LLC. Fashioned after the Washington Farm Labor Association(now known as WAFLA), the new member service program worked with 10 farmers to bring 407 H-2A workers into Michigan last year.
