There have been significant gains for farmworkers in the past year. For example, the 50-mile rule was recently overturned, which previously had the effect of requiring farmworker families to move 50 miles away from a farming operation after the close of the season in order to maintain farmworker housing. Learn about this and other new policies, as well as ones on the horizon such as House Bill HR 641-The Agricultural Worker Program Act of 2019.
