They're pushing lawmakers to move faster on a farm labor solution, even as the president cracks down on immigration.
TIOGA COUNTY, Pa. — As House Agriculture Chair G.T. Thompson prepares to introduce legislation aimed at easing the farm labor crisis, farmers in the Pennsylvania Republican’s district are hoping he’s heard their cries that they need more help right now.
In Tioga County, where President Donald Trump won 75 percent of the vote in 2024, farmers are losing patience with the White House’s promise of a quick solution for farm workers. Their urgent need is highlighted by stories like those of a multigenerational dairy farm that sold off all its dairy cows because the owner could not find workers and another where a farmer’s job listings have received no responses.
Farmers in the rural region near the New York border say those stories are not unique.
“The whole thing is screwed up,” said John Painter, a three-time Trump voter who runs an organic dairy farm in Westfield. “We need people to do the jobs Americans are too spoiled to do.”
Simply WOW! White Americans don't want to do stoop labor? Who did not see this coming.
These people voted for Trump, who promised to deport undocumented laborers and now that he is doing so, they feel the pain that they inflicted upon themselves. I have no pity for them.
