Farm Labor Program Announced

The Mississippi Congressional delegation, Mississippi Farm Bureau, Mississippi National Guard and Reserves, Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce, Mississippi State University Extension Service, and other agriculture-focused groups have facilitated the pairing of furloughed or unemployed members of the Guard, Reserve, and Veterans from all our servicebranches with ag producers across Mississippi. This arrangement comes at a time where COVID-19 has all but eliminated the available labor pool via the H2A program.

If you are a Mississippi ag producer with job openings on your farm or know a producer in need of labor, please add your listing(s) on the Farm Corps website: msuext.ms/farmcorps
