| Crapo has stepped back from initial signals he would back the
| amnesty.
|
| Several other GOP Senators are talking with Democratic Senators
| about the farmworker amnesty bill, including Sen. Susan Collins (R-
| ME) and Sen. Mike Rounds (R-SD), alongside Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC)
| and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).
|
| Farm industry lobbyists insist they are making progress. A June 17
| report at Dtnpf.com said:
|
|| David Puglia, president and CEO of Western Growers, which
|| represents produce growers in California and other western states,
|| said he is more optimistic about passing the bill this year than in
|| the previous 16 years in which he has worked in the produce
|| industry.
||
|| The combination of Bennet and Crapo along with the Biden
|| administration "that clearly wants this to get done" is "a powerful
|| start," Puglia said in an interview.
||
|| [...] It is important to pass the bill this year, Puglia said,
|| because it would be harder to pass the bill during the 2022 election
|| year. What's needed, Puglia said, is "a formula" to get 60 votes in
|| the Senate.

Will Munro visit AG Progress Days and ask the vendors why Big Ag won't
buy their machines?
