"On behalf of farmer co-ops across the country, I would like to express our sadness at the passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein. Senator Feinstein has been a trailblazer throughout her career. In particular, she has long been a champion of agricultural labor reform. Throughout her tenure, the senator was a critical part of bringing together both representatives of farmer workers and ag employers in search of a solution to one of the most serious issues facing farmers and ranchers across the country. We extend our deepest sympathies to her family and close friends."
