AMES — The Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Dairy Team will continue its monthly webinar series on Friday, September 12, from noon to 1 p.m.

Kristiana Coutu, director of the Beginning Farmer Center and counsel for the Center for Agricultural Law and Taxation at Iowa State University, will discuss common reasons why federal immigration officials may contact agricultural employers or visit farms.

Additionally, Coutu will provide practical information to help producers understand what to expect and how to prepare for potential interactions with immigration enforcement officials.

“Agricultural employers are increasingly concerned about immigration enforcement and have questions about how it may directly impact their farm,” said Fred Hall, extension dairy specialist at Iowa State. “This webinar will address situations dairy farm employers should be aware of, along with key compliance areas that every agricultural employer should understand.”

Producers, dairy consultants and industry representatives are encouraged to attend the virtual event.

This webinar is available at no cost, but online registration is required. It will also be archived for future viewing on the Dairy Team Webinar Archive web page.
