Really strong piece on the agricultural dependancy. The 42% figure realy underscores how deeply integrated these workers are into our food system. What often gets missed is the ripple effect when processing plants shut down even temporarily, entire supply chains seize up and smaller operations can't absorb those kinds of disruptions the way big agribusiness can.

Yep - and farmers voting for Trump. ICE needs to be in Texas & Florida where there are 10x more illegals

You totally missed the point of the article. We are so dependent on Undocumented workers we can't afford to Deport them & still eat.

Farmers support Trump - tariff damage and all - they must not be concerned. And GenZ males not only unqualified but lazy.

Let there be a registration process to keep track of these workers. The workers provide a service for our Country but we should know who they are and where they are.
