from KSTE Farm Hour
California’s farmers demand it. Democrats in congress are voting on it. And the President says he wants it, too. What is it? A plan for immigrant farm labor. It’s called the Agricultural Worker Program Act, and its currently working its way through Congress. We have an update. Farm Service Agency offices are reopening…but during this federal worker shutdown, how long will they remain open to aid the nation’s farmers? We take a look. Also, the labor-intensive process of developing hybrid fruit and nut varieties. We take a tour of one such facility. All that, and a lot more, on this week’s KSTE Farm Hour.
