  • Farm Bill - INFB plans to support the 2024 five year "Farm Bill" that sets national agriculture, nutrition, conservation, and forestry policy. INFB discussed the importance of maintaining these programs and advocated for INFB 2024 farm bill priorities. INFB advocated for the farm bill to be passed this Congress.
  • H.R. 7046/S. 3848; The Supporting Farm Operations Act - INFB is supportive of H.R. 7046 and S. 3848, the Supporting Farm Operations Act. This legislation would freeze the H-2A Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWRs) at 2023 levels for two years. Additionally, it would direct the Department of Labor to utilize a primary duties test for H-2A employees performing more than one duty or task. Our members rely on H-2A labor and these reforms would greatly benefit farmers that utilize the program.
  • H.R. 7131/S. 3666; Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA), Improvements Act Foreign Ownership of Ag Land - INFB is supportive of H.R. 7131 and S. 3666, the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA) Improvements Act. This legislation would provide a number of updates to the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act that would help better track foreign investments and ownership of U.S. agricultural land by foreign countries and foreign adversaries.
