“I\u2019m looking to my own Senators Mitt Romney and Mike Lee to give this issue the attention it needs and to let Senators Crapo and Bennet know that they are eager to work with them on passing new agriculture workforce solutions.” <\/p>Bob Worsley<\/span>American Business Immigration Coalition Co-Chair, Utah native, former Republican Arizona State Senator and ZenniHome LLC founder<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/blockquote>

“Dairy farming is a year-round process. Animal care is not a simple task. People come to a farm requiring much training, so it\u2019s important to keep them. This is a federal issue. I would encourage both Utah Senators Romney and Lee to get involved in this. They have an opportunity to solve this. We can make this happen.” <\/p>Mike Kohler<\/span>Dairy farmer and Utah State Representative (R - Utah House District 54)<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t
