I did answer the question you twit.Are you ever going to answer the question or are you just going to bleat the same tired Fascist bullshit like the obedient sheep you are?
You ever going to answer the question?
No you didn't. You posted a bunch of irrelevant, hypothetical bullshit but the one thing you evaded mentioning is the answer to the questionAlready did, asshole.
About 75 percent of dairy is now mechanized.In another devastating blow to the U.S.'s agricultural sector, the mass deportation of cheap labor are leaving farmers with no one to work their farms.
DUH!
And once again we're talking about mostly red state voters. Voters who voted against their own interests (obviously) without thinking it all through to the final conclusion.
Hopefully they'll be ready to make better choices the next time they go to vote.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture, “In 2020–22, 32 percent of crop farmworkers were U.S. born, 7 percent were immigrants who had obtained U.S. citizenship, 19 percent were other authorized immigrants (primarily permanent residents or green-card holders), and the remaining 42 percent held no work authorization.” Any farm owner who voted for Trump’s mass deportation regime was voting against their own business interests (to say nothing of putting their now plummeting and critical soybean sales to China in the middle of his trade war), and if they didn’t know that, then my cold-hearted finance brain has little sympathy for people who have proven to not understand the business they have been trusted to manage. I took a whole class in school about what happens to managers like this.
"People don’t understand that if we don’t get more labor, our cows don’t get milked and our crops don’t get picked,” said Tim Wood, a dairy farmer and a member of the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau board of directors. Yes, and a lot of those people who oversee that labor voted to expel it from the country, and are now upset that they have to deal with the repercussions of their actions. I have long been told what is happening now is the fairness of the market punishing inefficient operations. In fact, I was told that it’s a good thing to get new managers into these operations so they can be run more efficiently and create more economic growth for the rest of us.
Politico notes that “The U.S. agricultural workforce fell by 155,000 — about 7 percent — between March and July, according to an analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data.” There are countless stories about immigrants being terrified and not showing up to work across the country because of Trump and ICE’s vast kidnapping operation, and the BLS data and recent Dallas Fed Surveys backs up what logic tells us. If people who owned businesses wholly dependent on undocumented labor supported a man telling them he will deport every undocumented person in the United States, what else should they expect for their businesses other than the mounting desperation that is unfolding right now?

3 and 1/2No kidding, a farmer had illegals milking his cows? How many cows did he have 3?
No, they are simply lying. Just because they are farmers doesn't mean they can't be dishonest.So are you saying the farmers in the article don't know what they are talking about?
I'm saying they are part of the 25%So are you saying the farmers in the article don't know what they are talking about?
They get paid for their statements also.No, they are simply lying. Just because they are farmers doesn't mean they can't be dishonest.

I know Maggie Valley and Cherokee pretty well. We go back once in a while to visit a family member. Beautiful area.MagicMike...that sound like a story...where they going to go ?
Back home and sit around and do nothing but watch thier old ladies get fat.
When I liked in western North Carolina they were alot of amingos there. Some citizens, some mingrants and some illegals. They picked tobacco (it will grow anywhere-rocky hills) and they had Christian tree farms.
All the amigos lived in bunk houses and send half thier checks home. The farmers will cover them (as best they can) because none are trouble makers...they are there to work. The trouble makers are kicked to the curb.
It kinda funny because the cops are super really lazy and one time they stoped a amigo with no papers for anything. (he had alcohol on his breath) They got one of his friends and he drove him home. The coppers dead lined the car. If they caught him driving they would tow it.
At the right spot in the county on a clear day you could see Piolet Mt which was MT Piolet on Maybery. All the towns on the show were local names.

With absolutely no one to operate the machinesYou ******* retard, the cows are milked by machine.
Sheesh, just how stupid are you?
Many more were deported under Obama. So who milked the cows way back then?In another devastating blow to the U.S.'s agricultural sector, the mass deportation of cheap labor are leaving farmers with no one to work their farms.
