We even held a seminar in the spring to tell the employers that we think there are winning solutions, to have a productive workforce.
The objective behind all that is for agricultural producers to have workers, for them to be able to find and keep workers, whether the workers are foreign or local. They have to retain their workforce as long as possible. When the workers are well trained, there is automatically higher productivity.
