USDA FLSP Webinar: Small Growers

Date:

Virtual Meeting: https://www.zoomgov.com/j/1615532434#success

USDA announced $65 million in grants are available for agricultural employers through the Farm Labor Stabilization and Protection Pilot Program (FLSP). The pilot helps employers address workforce needs in agriculture, promotes a safe and healthy work environment for farmworkers, and supports migration pathways for workers, including for H-2A workers from Northern Central America.

This webinar will take a deeper dive into some the unique challenges that smaller, mid-sized and underserved producers and employers may face as they navigate participation in FLSP, the application process, and the H-2A program.

Attendees will hear about the technical assistance available to prospective applicants and grantees – and why FLSP is uniquely suited to address their needs.

On the same day, following the Small Growers webinar, USDA will host FLSP Office Hours beginning at 4 p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT.

Upcoming Office Hours

USDA hosts weekly office hours, which consist of question and answer (Q&A) and less formal engagement with the FLSP program team.

No Registration Required for Office Hours
