Sooo... Let me see if I get this right - a possible employer complains that because the ‘’immigration system’’ is broken, he can't get his crop harvested. I wonder if he'd care to share the advertisements he put out, or the employment agencies he contacted? No? So..what we have here is someone who didn't really try, doesn't really care, just wants to come up with a good excuse for changing products and make a political statement.

Obviously, you have never put your money on the line to try and turn a profit.

If you think this farmer is making a political statement and didn't try to find workers, your immigration psychosis is at a dangerous level.

This country has a SERIOUS problem with illegal immigrant, but doing NOTHING is just as bad.

Congress is doing this country a serious disservice to it's citizens by not addressing this issue in a balanced sensible fashion

You would think the 4H groups would be leveraged for harvesting.

If you haven't tried to find employees to do field work, don't be so critical. It is nearly impossible to find citizens that want to pick vegetables, even when the pay is good. I am not really familiar with PA weather in the summer, but here in Louisiana it is not attractive to work ten hours in the field when it is 98 degrees with 90 percent humidity, even when the pay is good.

Temporary workers from Guatemala and Mexico do much of the work in this area and the cost is also high because you have to furnish transportation, meals and living accomodations that meet governmental requirements.
