If you are a Mississippi ag producer with job openings on your farm or know a producer in need of labor, please add your listing(s) on the Farm Corps website: msuext.ms/farmcorpsDelta Farm Press Staff

The Mississippi Congressional delegation, Mississippi Farm Bureau, Mississippi National Guard and Reserves, Mississippi Department of Agriculture and Commerce, Mississippi State University Extension Service, and other agriculture-focused groups have facilitated the pairing of furloughed or unemployed members of the Guard, Reserve, and Veterans from all our service branches with ag producers across Mississippi. This arrangement comes at a time where COVID-19 has all but eliminated the available labor pool via the H2A program.

If you are a Mississippi ag producer with job openings on your farm or know a producer in need of labor, please add your listing(s) on the Farm Corps website: msuext.ms/farmcorps
