Sep 25, 2026 · 3,445 in WARN notices (Seasonal harvest workforce)

AI score 2/100 (Minimal) · 80% interval 1–3 · evidence grade D · WA · Agriculture

Stated reason: End-of-harvest seasonal layoff. The employer's WARN letter says: "your employment ... under the H-2A contract for the 2026 agricultural season will officially end on November 25, 2026 ... The work is now nearly completed or substantially reduced due to the end of the harvest season"

Why 2: Seasonal / temporary layoff · Drivers: contrary evidence −0.7, industry AI exposure +0.1

Evidence: state WARN notice. Signals: attribution 0.0, primary source 0.0, exec statement 0.0, role exposure 0.116, industry exposure 0.177, AI investment 0.0, contrary evidence 0.4 · typical Food & Agriculture roles (no roles named)

Note: Washington began requiring WARN notices for seasonal farm layoffs in 2025, so routine end-of-harvest separations of H-2A and seasonal crews now appear as "permanent" mass layoffs.

Headcount basis: WARN (sum of state notices; company-wide total not disclosed) · WARN: 3,445 workers at 1 site notice(s)
