(Bloomberg) — President-elect Donald Trump’s threat of mass deportations risks hurting US agriculture, dealing an additional blow to a sector already struggling with labor shortages and bracing for trade disputes.


It definitely has an impact,” the chief executive officer said during an interview on Bloomberg Television’s “Balance of Power.” “It’s still a very human-intensity business that we’re in.”

While the rural US has seen some population growth in recent years, it experienced an overall loss of population in the prior decade, according to the US Department of Agriculture. That makes the labor dilemma even more challenging as older farmers and ranchers find it tougher to pass down operations to younger family members.

The effect of deportations could be especially acute in areas such as California, which abounds in specialty crops like fruits, nuts and vegetables and relies on seasonal workers from Mexico and other countries. The USDA has said nearly half of hired crop farmworkers lack legal immigration status.

The grain and soybean-dominated Midwest also could be at risk, according to Carstens. The region depends in part on the government’s H-2A program that allows certain US employers to bring foreign nationals into the country to fill temporary agriculture jobs.

Trade Tension On the trade front, any new tariff clash with China — the world’s largest importer of agriculture products — would hit American growers as they battle lower demand for exports and a plunge in crop prices. “When you lose volume like we have to China, that has a long-term ripple effect, and it’s hard to recover from,” Carstens said. Rural communities overwhelmingly backed Trump in his election win last week over Kamala Harris, even after a trade war with China during his first term put US growers at risk of losing global market share in the long run. Soybean sales alone to the Asian nation plummeted by almost 79% in the first two years of Trump’s presidency, though $28 billion in subsequent farm aid eased the pain.

Finding farmworkers from outside of America, as we have done successfully for many decades, gets a lot harder when the Regime hands out several thousands of dollars a month in cash and benefits to illegals, demanding no work.

We did it to ourselves, and it has nothing to do with possible deportations, which are unlikely to happen to a significant degree.

Easy fix. Work release from jails. As an added bonus they work cheap just to be out in the open air.

This is funny. Look at the FAFO ! Good luck getting Kyle and Brad to pick the fruit in the sun all day with no breaks and water for min wage. It's not going to happen.

Most people in jail are AA. You want to make them work the fields?

Prisoners very often have no ability to do farmwork....many have rarely/never worked.....and farm work is not easy work.

 

[Stone]

Most people in jail are AA. You want to make them work the fields?

Absolutely. They have no more or no less rights then any other American. I'm sure a lot of them would be happy to get out of jail for the day. It is not a punishment to be out,...it is actually a reward.

Those slaves should have been happy to work those fields, I mean they were outside were they not?!

Fuckem then....let them rot in jail.

That is the current system we have. Reinstituting slavery was a horribly racist and ignorant idea. Got that from Trump's project 2025?

Oh I see,...so only Black people are in jail. Got it. Yeah,..I guess you may be right afterall, Wouldnt be a good idea releasing all those criminals out in the public to work. Yep,...keep their asses locked up till every bit of their sentence is served.

Nope I didn't say only black people are in jail. No need to twist my words. But suggesting slavery 2.0 is not going to get you anywhere with sane non racist individuals.

Which you Are not sane at all,...OR,...if not insane then you are at least guilty of high levels of STUPIDITY. What,...are you unaware that work RELEASE programs are VOLUNTARY? You mean you REALLY are that stupid?

 

[The Trump Administration]

The H-2A program allows U.S. employers or U.S. agents who meet specific regulatory requirements to bring foreign nationals to the United States to fill temporary agricultural jobs.

Yawn. Your personal attacks mean nothing as your opinion of me is void and null. Get back to me when you have a constructive argument.

Quite frankly,...you simply do not know what you are talking about. Most prisoners, regardless of race would jump at the chance to get into a work release program vs being locked up all day. You should really educate yourself before running your big mouth so stupidly.

 

[The Trump Administration]

Why can't farmers use H-2A visas?

I would guess you do know more about being locked up and what criminals want.

I would guess you do know more about being locked up and what criminals want.

I know more about just about anything than you do and its very obvious. You might have me on the proper way to carry a bed pan but that's about it.

What you're talking about is not a "work release program", dumbass.

It's the equivalent of prison chain gang labor.
