Farmworkers would get a stronger voice in federal programs until 2031.

This bill would make sure the Department of Agriculture's Farmworker Coordinator position continues until 2031. It would also give the Coordinator more power to connect farmworkers with federal help and improve programs that affect them. This means better outreach and services for farmworkers.

What Would Change

Currently, the Farmworker Coordinator position is authorized until 2023 with a specific set of duties and no explicit staff. If this bill passes, the position would be authorized until 2031, gain many new responsibilities related to outreach, coordination, and policy input across Department of Agriculture agencies, and the Coordinator would be able to hire necessary staff.
