Navigating Ag's Labor Crisis
DTN's Special Ag Labor Coverage: List of Content and Links
DTN/Progressive Farmer is exploring what's driving the ag worker shortage and sharing strategies some producers are using to adapt. We're calling the initiative "Navigating Ag's Labor Crisis."
As part of our coverage, we are posting stories from our summer issue of Progressive Farmer, "Labor Pains," along with bonus content related to the series, including multimedia.
Also, we will be updating this special landing page during the next few months to include links to all the Labor Pains stories and other content, as well as the latest DTN/PF news coverage related to ag labor issues.
