On the Monday edition of the Michigan Ag Today Podcast: The U.S. Department of Labor has issued a final rule regarding H-2A program for migrant farm workers. The agency says the rule would “strengthen protections for farmworkers.” However, Chuck Conner, President and CEO of the National Council of Farmer Cooperatives (NCFC), tells Michigan Ag Today that he believes the final rule creates a "burden" for Michigan farmers. Also, Chief Meteorologist Ryan Martin has your Michigan Farm Forecast. Plus, Brian Basting with Advance Trading, Inc. reviews Friday's grain markets.
