i cant wait for their migrant slave labor force to not show up and all the crops rot in their fields. theyll have to sell to giant, automation-based corpo monstrosities. but hey, and least they stuck it to them libs!
Trump hasn't named his Ag Secretary pick yet, but whoever it is will almost definitely be at odds with RFK on the whole pesticides and organic farming thing, so that will be a fun fight.
If they’re even tangentially familiar with how the ag industry works. I’m not holding my breath.
To be a little conspiratorial, I think their “plan” for replacing immigrant labor is young people not being able to go reliably go to college after the department of education is gutted.
No DoE-> no FAFSA-> no money for tuition-> cheap labor.
No way that works, of course. The kids are going to riot before trading college for being farm labor.
I think they're going to bring slavery back.
Prisons are big business.
They will use slaves. Literally. It's even cheaper for them.
