(Indianapolis) – March 11, 2020 – Indiana Farm Bureau has partnered with Great Lakes Ag Labor Services, LLC (GLALS) to offer its members assistance in navigating the H-2A program, which allows U.S. agricultural employers in need of seasonable labor to petition for nonimmigrant, foreign workers.
GLALS was established by Michigan Farm Bureau in 2015. Through its partnership with Varnum Law, GLALS may now provide legal support and 24-hour online access to a Labor Compliance guide to interested INFB members.
Services now available to INFB members through GLALS are:
“Many labor intensive agricultural operations rely heavily on seasonal workers,” said John Shoup, an attorney at INFB. “The process of applying for and coordinating seasonable labor can be stressful and time consuming, regardless of the type of operation. We’re excited to be able to offer INFB members with the support they need to manage their H2-A program and the peace of mind that comes with working with experts.”
The services offered through GLALS are available at a variety of price points, depending on the level of support needed. Interested INFB members may contact Shoup at 317-692-7801 or jshoup@infb.org or visit http://infb.org/h2a.
