While the ag industry is following the back-and-forth of tariff discussions, another Trump decision is weighing heavily on the sector as his deportation efforts are underway.
Colorado farmers say they are not worried about the state’s $47 billion ag industry.
Researchers at Colorado State University believe that 25-30% of the state’s ag workers are undocumented, but the H-2A program is also fairly popular in Colorado. In 2023, just under 4,000 H-2A visas were requested.
President Trump expanded the temporary work visa program in his first administration, and some analysts believe he will do the same in his new administration.
