How is the labor situation affecting your operation?

The Fruit Growers News is seeking input from growers through a survey on the labor situation in the U.S.

It’s a hot-button issue for all areas of agriculture, but it’s become of critical concern in recent months to specialty crop growers.

As the H-2A program becomes more widely used, and the wage rates for the program increase, growers are weighing their options for the next season’s labor. The Fruit Growers News can use your insight into the critical labor situation to help guide our coverage.

The survey is anonymous, although you can enter your information for a chance to win a $50 gift card.

The online survey takes just a few minutes.
