Dairy Workforce in Idaho with Mike Simpson and Rick Naerebout

from The Ranch Podcast · host Matt Todd

Mike Simpson is a US Congressman from Idaho and Rick Naerebout is the CEO of the Idaho Dairymen’s Association. They both agreed to come on to discuss the state of ag labor in Idaho and the US which is a huge point of concern for both citizens and producers. The US hasn’t seen a revision to immigration law or labor law in many decades, and this inability to act at the federal level has put our dairy industry in an impossible position. Rep. Simpson came on to talk about what is and can be done to make this right.
