Sheridan County, ND

I've heard from agronomists already that they are starting to receive emails saying that products could become bottle necked for the spring and going into summer. The other big issue that I see is that if your H2A employee/employees aren't here yet, or at least on a plane already, they won't probably make it here until at least June. Lots of farmers/ranchers in our area that get support from this program, including us. And they didn't even have time to make it to the embassies before they locked down. Possibly until the middle of May. Then looking at a mandatory isolation for 2 weeks when they get over here. Could make this spring an interesting one. Good luck, stay safe to everyone out there and God bless!
