Description

When discussing farm labor, some complex issues come to the table: the history of the labor movement, immigration, fair wages for farm workers, fair prices for farmers... This week’s episode of The Farm Report offers context to these issues with two guests from different big agricultural states. Bryan Little, the Director of Employment Policy for the California Farm Bureau Federation, and Elizabeth Henderson, an organic farmer and Board member for NOFA-NY, both contribute to the conversation.
