A lot of unease in the workforce right now. In response, the California Farm Bureau, representing over 26,000 farm and ranch families, has confirmed that despite those reports of agitation and instability, there is no widespread disruption to the state's agricultural workforce. Bryan Little, Senior Director of Policy Advocacy, emphasized that while some workers feel uncertain, California farmers remain committed to stable operations across the state.

In a recent update from California Farm Bureau, Little also highlighted that nearly one-third of the nation’s agricultural workforce is based in California, stressing that a labor shortage could affect food production and rural economies. Addressing ongoing challenges, they are calling for practical immigration policy reforms, including modernizing the H-2A visa program, granting legal status for current workers, and creating policies that ensure stability.

From Little, “California Farm Bureau will continue to advocate for practical, compassionate solutions that protect our workforce, stabilize our industry, and secure America’s food supply.”
