USDA has a new resource available that many farmers might find useful. Farmers.gov is being constructed as the federal government home page for farmers to reach a lot of different resource at USDA from financing to conservation to temporary seasonal or temporary workers. It was this last offering that caught my attention.
Farmer who use or are considering seasonal or temporary farm workers should check out: https://www.farmers.gov/working-with-us/h2a-visa-program. There you will find helpful information about the H2-A Visa Program for seasonal and temporary farm workers. The site includes: general info, various possible application paths, an H-2A application checklist that you can customize for your needs, a summary of program costs, info about which application expenses at deductible, and a variety of other helpful program details.
