Farmers share labor concerns with Schumer
SENNETT - Dairy farmer Connie Patterson thanked U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer for his support of the Agricultural Job Opportunities, Benefits, and Security Act.
The measure will grant alien agricultural workers, their spouses and their children temporary resident status and legal permanent resident status upon the fulfillment of agricultural work requirements.
“I want to have access to immigrant labor” for her 900-cow Aurelius dairy, Patterson said during a town-hall style meeting with the senator Tuesday.
