http://fortune.com/2017/08/08/immigration-worker-shortage-rotting-crops/

quote:

Vegetable prices may be going up soon, as a shortage of migrant workers is resulting in lost crops in California.

Farmers say they're having trouble hiring enough people to work during harvest season, causing some crops to rot before they can be picked. Already, the situation has triggered losses of more than $13 million in two California counties alone, according to NBC News.

The ongoing battle about U.S. immigration policies is blamed for the shortage. The vast majority of California's farm workers are foreign born, with many coming from Mexico. However, the PEW Research Center reports more Mexicans are leaving the U.S. than coming here.

To make the jobs more attractive, farmers are offering salaries above minimum wage, along with paid time off and 401(k) plans, but even that's not proving enough.

It's unclear exactly how widespread the labor shortage is for farmers throughout the country, which would have a bigger impact on prices consumers pay.

Ultimately, drought and flooding have a more significant impact on farms. Low oil prices could also offset any impact of the worker shortage.But for farmers, who have seen net farm income fall 50% since 2013, any lost income could be potentially devastating.

Jason Miller and A.J. Delgado on Wednesday confirmed the birth of their son, but the former campaign staffers to President Trump offered differing accounts of their relationship to a New York tabloid and on Twitter.

Miller, who was named White House communications director during the presidential transition — and who is married to another woman — confirmed the birth of son William to the New York Post, which reported that the child was the result of a campaign fling with Delgado. Miller told the tab that his wife has accepted the child.

Pretty sure she's from Portland, although that city is often described as "the Pittsburg of the upper Willamette valley".

I wonder what the actual rate at which you'll get unemployed people to be farm workers is? It looks like serious work. Maybe $25 an hour.

its what happens when food goes memetic

its like doing the wave in the stadium, just that it sometimes takes a long time for the wave to finish and then you can move the gently caress on. Some people already did it, some people haven't so the avocado still goes on

people who already did it are bored and waitin for the wave to complete and are sick of it

i never did the wave for it but i will adhere to the shrek nuts because gently caress avocados and avocado shills
