In the face of a critical shortage of U.S. farm labor, Michigan State University (MSU) will host a conference on “Understanding and Addressing Agricultural Labor Challenges in the United States” on November 2, 2023 in the Heritage Room at the University Club of MSU in Lansing, Michigan. The main goals of the conference are to discuss the most pressing farm labor challenges, disseminate research findings, connect local stakeholders with information and resources to help them address their labor challenges, and discuss potential policy and regulatory solutions. Speakers include the nation’s leading farm labor experts in academia and the U.S. government, top Michigan state government officials, and key industry stakeholders representing both employer and employee interests.
