The “Let’s Talk About Labor” podcast is a collaboration between the University of Tennessee and GAP Connections and aims to help you connect with farmers in Tennessee and other surrounding states, specifically to hear about their experiences using various US temporary foreign visa programs to address their labor needs.
Let’s talk about the H-2A program – Farmers’ experiences with the H-2A program.
In this episode, George McDonald, owner of Catesa Farms, and Bart Gilmer, one of the owners of Falcon Ridge Farm, will talk about their general experience with the H-2A program. The H-2A temporary agricultural program, also called the H-2A visa program, is a program that allows U.S. agricultural employers experiencing a shortage of domestic workers to fill seasonal or temporary jobs with foreign nonimmigrant workers.
