Bloomberg: Trump Deportation Policy to Echo in Real Time as Farm Wages Rise

A Bloomberg article explores how “across America’s orchards and crop fields, a shrinking supply of migrants has already driven pay up faster than in the broader workforce.” Further, “President Donald Trump’s immigration policy may turbocharge that trend,” according to Bloomberg. “We’re really anxious to have a seat at the table and have a serious conversation about farm labor,” AFBF President Zippy Duvall told Bloomberg Radio. Duvall explained that the lack of an agriculture secretary has complicated the farm labor situation for farmers and ranchers.
