The Idaho Dairymen’s Association has long supported and advocated for responsible immigration reform. Our position is rooted in the belief that immigration policies must be fiscally and morally sound for Idaho and our country, and include support of the following:
The success and growth of Idaho’s dairy industry is not achievable without the contributions of the talented, predominantly Hispanic workforce who has toiled beside Idaho’s dairy farm families for generations.
The labor shortage in the dairy industry is worsened by the inability to access a visa program for year-round jobs or the H-2A temporary agricultural worker program.
