The Wisconsin Farm Bureau (WFBF) is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Great Lakes Ag Labor Services (GLALS), expanding its member benefits program. This collaboration directly addresses the critical issue of workforce availability within the state's agricultural sector.
The H-2A Temporary Agricultural Employment of Foreign Workers program provides a valuable resource for farmers seeking skilled labor for seasonal positions. However, navigating the intricate H-2A application and onboarding process can be a significant hurdle.
"We recognize the challenges associated with securing a reliable workforce," stated WFBF President Brad Olson. "Our partnership with GLALS offers a comprehensive solution, leveraging their expertise to simplify the H-2A process for our members."
GLALS, a trusted partner for agricultural businesses in multiple states, boasts a proven track record of success. WFBF members will gain access to a robust suite of services, including:
- Streamlined H-2A application filing procedures
- Efficient worker recruitment strategies
- Effective worker scheduling solutions
- Virtual worker orientation and onboarding programs
H-2A guestworkers contribute significantly to Wisconsin's agricultural industry. Their diverse skillsets enable them to perform a wide range of essential tasks across various farm sizes and operations. From planting and harvesting to livestock care, these workers play a vital role in the agricultural cycle.
This strategic partnership between WFBF and GLALS empowers Wisconsin farmers to focus on core business activities. By ensuring access to a dependable workforce, WFBF fosters a sustainable and thriving agricultural environment within the state.
