Farmers are continuing to tell Congress they need immigrant labor. One of them is dairy producer Andrew Heiman of Marshfield, Wisconsin, who tells Brownfield his family’s businesses rely on foreign-born workers. “Right now, we probably have around twelve people full time and a couple of people part time, and then we are also tied in with Weber’s Farm Store and Nasonville Dairy so there’s a lot of employees. I couldn’t even give you a number off the top of my head.”
Heiman was one of a group of farmers discussing ag policy with Congressman Sean Duffy Tuesday at Sternweis Farms near Marshfield.
