Madam Speaker. on September 11. 2008. I introduced legislation. the Dairy and Sheep H2A Visa Enhancement Act of 2008 . which is designed to ensure that American dairy farmers and sheep ranchers can legally hire the employees they need. Very simply. it would provide dairy farmers with access to the H2A visa program and codify longstanding regulatory practices that currently allow sheepherders such access. As I have previously mentioned. one cannot overstate the importance of the dairy industry to the United States economy. In 2007 alone. nearly 60.000 commercial dairy farmers produced 185 billion pounds of milk worth $35.5 billion.
