What Agricultural Employer means to ag employers

An "Agricultural Employer" under the H-2A program is any individual or entity that owns or operates a farm, ranch, processing establishment, or similar fixed-site location where agricultural activities are conducted. This employer is responsible for recruiting, hiring, employing, housing, or transporting workers for agricultural labor or services. The employer must comply with specific regulations and demonstrate a shortage of domestic workers to justify the employment of H-2A workers. This role includes ensuring that the employment of foreign workers does not adversely affect the wages and working conditions of U.S. workers.
