Farmers from across the country are heading to Capitol Hill this season, making the case for an H-2A visa overhaul before Congress runs out of time to act.

The recent Farm Bill 2.0 is an example of lawmakers coming together, and it’s packed with some surprising amendments that could change lives in rural communities.
