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.
