Listen Later

November 13th's forum on Migrant Labor and Idaho's Economy. We had Zak Miller CEO of Farm Bureau, Rick Naerebout, CEO of Idaho Dairymen, and a recorded message from Rep. Mike Simpson.

Idaho agriculture depends on a workforce few people ever see — and even fewer understand.
In this City Club forum, industry leaders break down the data, the challenges, and the policy realities behind Idaho’s reliance on migrant labor.

“These workers are part of the backbone of Idaho’s food economy,” noted panelist Zak Miller. “Without them, production simply doesn’t happen.”

A must-listen for anyone who cares about Idaho’s agriculture and economic stability.
