Supporting Farm Operations Act of 2025
This bill freezes the minimum wage rate for H-2A agricultural workers at the level effective in each state on December 31, 2023, through December 31, 2026. It directly affects farms hiring H-2A visa workers and the workers themselves by maintaining current wage requirements. The bill clarifies that wage determination for these workers will use a "primary duties evaluation" to assess their main job tasks, rather than all duties performed. This provides stability in wage calculations for agricultural employers and workers during the specified period.
