National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) CEO Dr. Barbara P. Glenn issued the following statement today after the U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) announcement of a proposed rule to allow for online job recruiting for the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Labor Certification Program:
“Producers have been asking for this rule for years and now they will have the flexibility to advertise online, like any other employer. NASDA looks forward to continuing to work with the administration and Congress on changes that will ensure that our farmers and ranchers have access to the 21st century workforce they need.”
NASDA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit association which represents the elected and appointed commissioners, secretaries, and directors of the departments of agriculture in all fifty states and four U.S. territories. NASDA grows and enhances agriculture by forging partnerships and creating consensus to achieve sound policy outcomes between state departments of agriculture, the federal government, and stakeholders.
