Miami Herald: Farms a Casualty of Immigration War
Miami--A Miami Herald article looks at how farmers are struggling to find workers due to the lack of a workable guest worker program and the uptick in the number of states putting tough immigration laws in place.
The article includes interviews with growers in New York and Washington, as well as with California Farm Bureau Federation’s Bryan Little.
It also cites American Farm Bureau Federation economic analysis that projects yearly losses of $5 billion to $9 billion for fruit and vegetable growers because of the labor shortages.
