About Our Association

Established in 1986, the mission of the Snake River Farmers' Association is to assist agricultural employers to obtain a legal and stable workforce. To the degree that a sufficient number of qualified U.S. workers are not available to accept their seasonal positions, the Association will act as the agent for those members who choose to use the Federal H-2A program.

SRFA understands that agricultural growers require the very best when it comes to a reliable workforce. We also understand the difficulty in acquiring seasonal employees that have a legal right to work in our country. The Snake River Farmers Idaho-based organization has allowed numerous employers the ability to bring capable foreign workers onto farms to perform agricultural work for the entire growing season. The large majority of these same workers return to work for the same employer year after year. Since it was established in 1986, the Associations has become recognized as the expert on issues of legal immigration and agricultural labor in the Northwest. The Association continues to be referred to as an industry leader for employers who wish to apply for temporary alien agricultural labor certification for the purpose of employing H-2A workers on a temporary or seasonal basis. The Association actively partners with other state/national organizations to keep abreast of the regulatory requirements of the program and extend that information to its members in an effort to assure compliance.
