They could, they'd just make less money if they had to, you know, pay for their labor and give their employees rights..

Or when they can’t find enough workers and their crops die in the fields…

There's a few million people out of work, they can find workers. They just actually have to pay.

I'm not sure there are many Americans that would do field work for $50/hr and on top of that, farmers would have to pay actual labor overhead and have a certain standard of work.
