Mr. President. every spring season brings many demands on the time of farmers and ranchers in my home State of Wyoming. They are busy tending to their livestock. newly born calves and lambs. and planting their crops. Many of them rely on the H2A program to find seasonal and temporary skilled workers to assist them in their timehonored work. This program is vital to Wyomings agricultural industry. That is why I joined my friend Senator ENZI In asking the Department of Labor to extend the public comment period on its proposed rule changes to the program. Many Wyoming employers have not had an opportunity to fully review the proposed changes.
