On July 23, New York Agriculture Commissioner Nathan Rudgers chaired
a meeting of the U.S./Mexico Working Group on farm labor issues. The
purpose of the meeting was to identify common policy issues that could
be addressed by NASDA during the current debate on farm labor and
possible actions that the U.S/Mexico Accord Working Group could undertake
to ensure an adequate labor supply for U.S. agriculture. The participants
heard reports on the current demographics of the U.S. farm workforce
and the latest legislative actions in Congress. Reports and minutes
from the meeting are posted below. (NASDA contact: Jennifer
