Good morning! EX-NPR Head of Federal Funding Advance, Economists support Caroline Tokh for the next president of Chile, and Land O’Lakes CEO lead one of the most difficult questions facing Trump’s era.
– Hard work. The CEO of Land O’Lakes Beth Ford has long been Barrister for farmers and rural US communities. Earlier this year, her propaganda portfolio became even higher rates: when President Donald Trump took over, Ford took over Apple CEO Tim Kuk as chairman of the Immigration Committee of the Business Circle table.
While the Trump administration has accepted its immigration policy – including Mass deportations and the issues of legality that were already reached the Supreme Court-Thad is working to provide a look at the business community for long -term immigration issues.
Ford told me that the business round table supports Trump’s efforts to ensure the US and Mexico border. “That’s where the American public,” she said about this issue. But a very influential business interest group whose members also include GM Bar Chief, Citi CEO Jane Fraser and Tiaa Thasunda Brown Duckett, preparing to bring other prospects before Trump administration after he determines his efforts at the border that is almost completed. It is then that the group “will be able to provide information from the business -community to help them understand the needs of the immigration flow in terms of workers to help build the American economy.” “(We strive to) help them understand where there are potential gaps, whether it is in construction workers or agricultural workers,” Ford says.
Ford took over O’Lex’s land in 2018; Work did her The first is openly fun woman Fortune 500. Land O’Lakes for over 100 years, structured as a co -op belonging to members. It ranks 245 on Fortune 500 with income of $ 16.8 billion.
For farmers and members who make up the land of O’Lex, immigration is a “main question”, – says Ford. “If you are a dairy farmer, it’s 24/7, 365 businesses. And it’s very difficult, pumping pits that break at 3 o’clock in the morning. It’s freeze. It’s hard work,” she says. “They must have people to fix the tractor. Many people work with them 20 years who are without them. You can’t do without them. They are grateful to people who want to do this hard work that many do not want to do … some mentioned me:” I’m really nervous.
Ford says the Trump administration has been ready to “do something on agricultural workers”. For the last few months, its government team has spent, introducing the new administration, in some cases, waiting for these people to be confirmed or read speed on these issues that range from the needs that are characteristic of visas and daca. These discussions reach the White House, the US Department of Agriculture, Homeland Security and the Ministry of Commerce. (Meanwhile Land O’Lakes focused on the future tax account and influence action With the help of 199a would have on farmers.)
Ford admits that this work is difficult. “It will be difficult – yes, it can be,” she says. “I subscribe to this because I think it is so important for the economy not only for agriculture but also for all these enterprises.”
