Farming and Farm Labor
Today is Labor Day. It’s a good time to stop and reconsider US agricultural needs. Between labor shortages and most recently increases prices for fertilizers because of the US Iran conflict farmers have been experiencing difficult times. It is in the best interest of farmers to come to a collective solution to these two issues and in the process reduce the competition of imported produce. It would be in the best interest of environmentalists to join farmers in the transition to organic farming methods that don’t depend on imported chemicals sources to fertilize their fields.
