What was lobbied
6 issue areas, each in the filer's own words, with who lobbied on it and where.
Immigration IMM
Agriculture operations are labor intensive, and there is not a domestic work-force willing to fulfill the workload. Agriculture producers need to hire foreign workers to complete their workload. Adequate procedures must be in place for producers to secure workers in a timely manner to prevent losing perishable crops. Indiana Farm Bureau believes in the importance of comprehensive reform to US immigration and border security.
