Abstract: Grants will be made to assist agricultural employers and farmworkers by improving the supply, stability, safety, and training of the agricultural labor force.

Emergency Justfication: The 2010 Appropriations Act appropriated $4 million to the USDA Rural Housing Service for the ACE Grants Program, but the delegation of authority and funding for the program was transfered to Office of Advocacy and Outreach (OAO). Because of the immediate need for the services authorized by the program - critical to both agricultural employers and farmworkers, OAO is requesting emergency approval by November 11, 2011.
