A federal court decision vacated a burdensome and unfair disaggregation labor rule, which is part of the 2023 Adverse Effect Wage Rate Rule.” “Farm Bureau is pleased that the Labor Department and a federal judge recognized that elements of the 2023 labor rule created an unfair wage structure that forced farmers to pay employees for jobs they may not usually perform,” Duvall said. “Farmers care about the men and women who choose to work on their farms, and they support good wages for their employees, but the rule didn’t align compensation with work performed.” The Farm Bureau has long advocated for reforms to the H-2A guestworker program to ensure workers are treated fairly and that farmers can afford to fill their labor needs. “We encourage leaders to continue along the path of reforming a broken system by improving the H-2A program and stabilizing the workforce for our farm families,” Duvall said.
