Agricultural Workforce Scarcity Survey
CFBF supports a bipartisan compromise that creates a visa program for the entry of a foreign legal workforce to work in agriculture, and that allows those currently experienced yet unauthorized agricultural workers who pay a fine and pass a background check to continue working in agriculture.
California farmers continue to find themselves short of employees, despite raising wages, increasing benefits and taking other steps to try to alleviate the problem, according to a survey conducted by the California Farm Bureau Federation in collaboration with the University of California, Davis. The results remain consistent with a similar voluntary survey by CFBF in 2017.
