Farm groups quit migrant labor committee in protest
The Potato Growers Association and three other farm groups withdrew from the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Migrant Labor. Leon Epler said minority agricultural representation was inadequate and the committee acted to Lobby for legislation preserving migrant labor controls. Senate Bill 688 would create a Migrant Farm Labor Commission within Agriculture with agency representation and farmer appointees.
