Abstract

On November 2, 2023, the Michigan State University Department of Agricultural, Food, and Resource Economics held a farm labor conference to investigate labor challenges that domestic agricultural employers and employees are facing, discuss potential solutions, and provide Michigan's agricultural stakeholders with information and resources to help address these challenges. One hundred and twenty individuals registered for the conference and 90 guests attended in person. The specific objectives of the conference were to (i) determine the most pressing labor challenges being faced by agricultural employers and employees, (ii) identify industry and government resources that can help address these challenges and disseminate this information to agricultural stakeholders, and (iii) find and discuss (amongst academia, industry, and government) potential policy and regulatory solutions.
