Stephen Colbert to testify at House hearing on farm labor this morning

Real farming is not like Facebook’s Farmville. It requires work – and a lot of it. Then nerds like me come along and say – hey, while you’re doing that minimum-wage piece work that Americans won’t do, make sure you stay healthy and be aware of all the food safety risks associated with fresh produce.

The Packer reports Stephen Colbert, star of The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, is scheduled to testify at the “Protecting America’s Harvest,” House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security and International Law.
