Volume 33, No. 8 Published by the Georgia Agribusiness Council, Inc. March 3, 2023

Week 8 of the Legislative Session was the final full week to pass a bill through its respective chamber before the Crossover Day deadline arrives on Monday.



The week started with dozens of committee meetings and ended with some of the General Assembly's most controversial bills on the floor late into Thursday night. Lawmakers will use Friday as one last committee day for any bills they hope to have a chance of making it across the line on Monday.

As we go into the weekend before what is undoubtedly going to be a marathon of a Crossover Day, we will continue to strategize and lobby for those pieces of legislation that will advance our industry.

HOUSE AG COMMITTEE RECAP

The House Agricultural and Consumer Affairs Committee met twice this week to hear and vote on a variety of bills from managing state owned farmers markets to protecting consumers who enroll in subscriptions online.

Monday, the committee held a hearing on HB 458, relating to the rules and regulations of hemp sales in the state of Georgia. The bill would establish an age requirement to purchase CBD products and would also ensure that each CBD product had been subjected to lab testing to ensure its quality and potency. The committee voted in favor of the bill moving forward.

The committee also passed HB 305, the Farmers Market Authority Act. This bill would allow the state-owned farmers markets to operate as an Authority which would give the markets more control of their money generated on site and would also establish a board to monitor the Authority, amongst other duties.

HB 452, a bill by Rep. Clay Pirkle to prohibit foreign citizens, foreign owned companies, and governments that are considered adversaries of the United States by the secretary of commerce from purchasing and possessing agricultural land and any land within 25 miles of a military base. HB 452 passed through the committee.

HB 545, a bill to establish a commodity commission for Citrus Fruits. GAC's Jake Tench and others testified in the committee in support of both HB 452 and HB 545.

For the second meeting of the week, Chairman Dickey opened by acknowledging the new H-2A wage rate increase of 14%. The point of personal privilege was over the concern that consumers are the ones absorbing this increase and will put foreign produce at a much greater advantage as compared to domestically grown products. This increase will affect the entire industry and we are monitoring possible solutions to this new challenge.

HOUSE AND SENATE TAKE UP AG AND FORESTRY BILLS

Both the House and Senate remained in their respective chambers late into the evening on Thursday trying to bring votes on a number of bills before Crossover Day. Among the many pieces of legislation that were brought to the floor, were a few bills that will affect agriculture and forestry. The House took votes on House Bill 545 by Representative Chas Cannon as well as House Resolution 96 by Noel Williams.

HB 545 looks to create a Commodity Commission for Citrus Fruits. The citrus industry has grown significantly in Georgia and is now in 45 counties across the state. The Citrus Commission will promote and support Citrus growers and allow for critical research and education for the growing industry. This bill was Rep. Chas Cannon’s first bill, and he received some very interesting questions while presenting on the floor as is customary for a member’s first piece of legislation. The body voted unanimously to pass the bill and it will now move to the Senate.

HB 96 is a proposed amendment to the Constitution to reduce the rate of the ad valorem tax assessment of timber at sale or harvest. This amendment would not take effect until 2025, and until then standing timber will only be assessed once on the basis of its fair market value at the time of harvest or sale. This legislation also passed through the House and will be transmitted to the Senate.

The Senate calendar for Thursday was also jam packed and did not get finished until after 9:00pm. The upper chamber took up many controversial bills which included a tort reform bill, sports betting and horse racing, and a bill to make Buckhead a stand-alone city. Although the debates were long for each of these bills, all of them failed to reach the required number of votes to move forward. In the middle of all of these hard-hitting pieces of legislation, Senator Brandon Beach present SB 132. This bill is nearly identical to HB 452 which aims to ban any agent of a country that is deemed a foreign adversary by the federal government from purchasing agricultural land in the state. SB 132 passed through the senate and will now be transmitted to the House. 

AG LAND CONSERVATION LEGISLATION TO BE VOTED ON

Senate Agricultural and Consumer Affairs Chairman, Russ Goodman, had a bill up for vote in this week’s Senate Finance Committee meeting. SB 220 is a bill that establishes the Georgia Farmland Conservation Fund and Georgia Farmland Advisory Council made up of stakeholders across the state including the Georgia Agribusiness Council and Georgia Farm Bureau presidents and also states that the Commissioner of Agriculture will chair the council. This fund is being established to protect Georgia’s farmland by incentivizing families who voluntarily choose to protect their farmland in perpetuity. It also looks to provide relief for families who are under developmental pressure and give them another option to maintain their family farms. Twenty-one other states have similar programs in place, but Chairman Goodman is modelling his bill after legislation in Texas, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. The council will review and approve award grants and the rules and regulations given to them by the GDA. SB 220 passed the Senate Finance Committee and has been put on the Senate Floor calendar for a vote on crossover day.

GAC VISITS WALKER COUNTY YOUNG FARMERS

GAC President Will Bentley was on hand to speak to the Walker County Young Farmer Organization for their Annual Banquet this week. Bentley spoke about the impact that agriculture has on the state of Georgia and the work that GAC is doing at the State Capitol. It is always great to be with farmers and other ag leaders to fellowship and talk about the future of agriculture.

SENATE COMMITTEE HEARS TRUCK WEIGHTS BILL

The Senate Transportation Committee heard testimony regarding Senate Bill 165, by Chairman Russ Goodman, a bill that allows for a variance of weight limitation upon a vehicle or load of 12.5% on 80,000 pounds. Chairman, Greg Dolezal, wanted to focus the meeting on specific points of information, including federal and surrounding state's laws, infrastructure capabilities, and business impact, among other things. Georgia Department of Transportation Commissioner, Russell McMurry, was there to defend DOT’s opposing view of SB 165. Andres Villegas, President and CEO of Georgia Forestry Association and Mike Giles, Georgia Poultry Federation President, spoke about how the posting of bridges would affect the industry, and Alexander Samoylov, Georgia Tech Research Institute of Space Transportation and Advanced System Labs, came to speak about the impact to infrastructure and their recent research showing how Georgia roads and bridges could support the changes in law. 

This is a top priority for GAC and many other allied industries.

HOUSE TRANSPORTATION HEARS HB 189 FOR THIRD TIME

Representative Steven Meek’s HB 189, the House version of the truck weight bill, was back in the House Transportation Committee this week to make a critical amendment that will hopefully get the bill through rules and on to the House floor. The purpose of this meeting was that the "third time is the charm". The original language of the bill allowed all freight in the state to carry loads at a 12.5% variance on 80,000 pounds which would put a maximum gross vehicle weight of 90,000lbs. The second form of the bill that passed was the increase would only apply to agriculture and forestry products but was again recommitted to the Transportation Committee. The third and hopefully final version was heard in committee on Thursday. With the new amendments to the bill it changed the proposed 12.5% variance to a 10% variance which will equate to 88,000 pounds. This new amendment to HB 189 keeps Georgia in competition with Alabama, Florida, and Tennessee. Representative Meek’s addressed several concerns from committee members including safety and effects on rural roads. Ultimately the bill passed out of committee once again with a vote of 14 to 6 and will move back to the House Rules Committee in hopes to ultimately get on the House floor Monday.

DEPARTMENT OF LABOR FINALIZES H-2A WAGE RULE

FROM NCFC:

The Biden Administration published a final rule this week, amending its regulations governing the certification of agricultural labor or services to be performed by temporary foreign workers in H-2A nonimmigrant status (H-2A workers). The rule is effective on March 30, 2023.

Among other things, the final rule will continue DOL’s use of the USDA’s Farm Labor Survey as a basis for determining wage rates in the H-2A Program for the existing six job categories surveyed. These six categories include: graders and sorters; agricultural equipment operators; farmworkers: crop, nursery, and greenhouse; farmworkers: farm, ranch, and aquacultural animals; agricultural workers, all other; and packers and packagers. In addition, the Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) survey will be used to set the AEWR at the mean wage for the occupation in the state if a job order has duties outside those primary six jobs.

The Agriculture Workforce Coalition issued the following statement:

Washington, D.C. (February 28, 2023) --“The Agriculture Workforce Coalition (AWC) is deeply concerned about the Department of Labor’s publication of the new methodology to calculate the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR) for the H-2A program. The new calculation dramatically increases costs for producers utilizing the program and will place an undue burden on family farms which are already facing a multitude of challenges, including the impact of high input costs, foreign competition, market volatility, and adverse weather. It will make it difficult for farmers to remain competitive and will serve only to further increase costs for domestically produced agricultural products.

“The AWC urges Congress to act without delay on ag workforce reform legislation. Farmers are committed to paying their employees a fair wage. The way the wage has and continues to be set is flawed and needs to be revised through provisions to reform the H-2A guest worker program, including the wage calculation.”

Team Spots are Almost Full!!
