The farmers will have to raise salaries until the can find an acceptable level of pay for their workers. Tough luck Charlie, costs go up and because of years of neglect of the laws, the workers have moved up to jobs in construction and other work in high density areas knowing from example that such areas are far less risky and pay better wages.
If, however, there is a substantial rise in raids in urban areas, you’ll likely see them come back. Every grower, for their own economic self interest should be constantly pushing for more raids and deportations in urban regions.
“The farmers will have to raise salaries”
This article is not about farmers. It says, “For that, a worker bunks with crewmates in a mobile trailer for free while seeing the U.S. heartland.” Many wheat farmers do not own a combine since they cost $300,000 or more and they would use it for about a week per year. Thus they contract to have their harvest done. The worker is discussed here is hired by that contractor. Some of these contractors work their way from Texas to Montana following the harvest, probably about 3 months at the maximum. Most of the “workers” are typically members of the contractor’s family. However, it used to be a good summer job for college kids with some mechanical smarts.
