CDFA Secretary Karen Ross:
“I want to thank USDA Secretary Sonny Perdue for elevating the importance of streamlining the process for eligible H2A applicants who have worked in the United States before or who are already here. Secretary Perdue understands the challenges that farmers across the country, and especially in California, face as the work continues to plant and harvest our crops. I have such respect for all agricultural workers who are vital to a safe, secure food supply.”
