   We've always needed some seasonal workers for harvesting the crops.   
      
      
   The H-2A Temporary Agricultural Program allows U.S. employers to bring   
   foreign nationals to the U.S. for seasonal or temporary agricultural   
   work, typically lasting up to 10 months. Employers must prove a shortage   
   of domestic workers, offer3/4th of the work contract, and provide   
   housing and transportation
