Sounds like we'll be eating a lot of "foreign" apples in the future.

"eating a lot of foreign apples"

China produces about half of the world supply and are depressing prices worldwide.

I remember the first time I saw trucks coming from Mexico with "Washington Apples" boxes full of beautiful apples.

I can attest, workers are short, we are having a hard time getting our chile out. I understand that they are having trouble finding employees for the maquiladoras in Mexico too.
