| 3332186 | d1a0ebf6-aa24-4d27-899f-75490d5bb713 | Q1 | MICHIGAN FARM BUREAU | 40017133 | MICHIGAN FARM BUREAU | 2025 | first_quarter | IMM | Michigan Farm Bureau continues to advocate for a long-term solution to our agricultural workforce needs. We continue to communicate to Congress on the out-of-control growth in the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) and challenges with the H-2A visa program. We are also concerned with a few recent rules from the Biden Administration and shared those concerns with Congress. Michigan Farm Bureau communicated with Congress in opposition to the last administrations Department of Labors rule regarding the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) methodology for the Temporary Employment of H-2A Nonimmigrants (Employment and Training Administration, Department of Labor, Docket Number ETA-2021-0006). The rule neglects to account for the fact that farm job descriptions often include many different responsibilities not just one role as the rule assumes. MFB is urging Congress to undue these rulemakings. MFB is also supporting H.R. 1624 the Supporting Farm Operations Act introduced by Rep. John Moolenaar. The bill would pause the AEWR at the 2023 level thru the end of 2026. | HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,SENATE | 220000 | 0 | 0 | 2025-04-11T16:15:40-04:00 |
