What good is that for farmers who can't find enough workers to harvest their crops?

The pound is worth Jack s*** now, not worth people coming over.

You reap what you sow. Or not in this case.

Part of the problem is two fold. Firstly the Supermarkets wield too much bargaining power & secondly the customer want cheap produce.

You mean like letting them come to work at 9am rather than 6am to pick the crops? A few more tea-breaks perhaps? A union - yes a union to get the pay up from £12 an hour to £15.

Hedgie you little Red. You are a dark horse.

Raise them enough so families can afford to do them,i know farmers have used foreign labour for years,and its work very well.
But we need to pay enough so families can do them,and the supermarkets will have to pay more for their produce,ideal time with brexit.

And on a side note,I notice HSBC have now said that it won't be as bad as they first forecast.

Crops are picked earlier as its cooler & they can be processed faster for freshness.

Yes, I know. Unfortunately, Farmers have a lot of difficulty finding British workers keen to do it hence their reliance on EU staff.

Ultimately the market will set prices and wages and which farmers are successful or not.

Indeed. Makes you wonder why they aren't more business minded or for that matter hire a business strategist rather than rely on the awful bargaining power of the N.F.U.
