Farm Operations Support Act

The Farm Operations Support Act maintains the minimum wage rate for H-2A agricultural workers at the level established in each state on December 1, 2022, through December 31, 2023. This directly affects agricultural employers who hire temporary foreign workers under the H-2A visa program and the workers themselves, by preventing the standard annual adjustment to the wage rate. The bill provides one-year stability in labor costs for employers without altering the underlying wage requirements.
