Florida Farmers To Trump: 'This Is Going To End Us'

Many said they are paying well above the minimum wage, and yet they have gotten few American-born job applicants.

Florida farmers can't find Americans willing to work to fill jobs abandoned by immigrants are saying they will have to cut back on future plantings out of fear of going out of business. Via Raw Story:

According to a report from NPR, those farmers have suffered losses of almost half their seasonal workers and can’t afford to replace them with H2A visa workers as has been suggested by Trump administration officials.

NPR’s Jasmine Garsd is reporting that despite pleas from farmers to grant amnesty to farm workers, the Trump administration is resisting, with Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins telling them, “Ultimately, the answer to this is automation. And then also when you think about it, there are 34 million able-bodied adults in our Medicaid program. There are plenty of workers in America.”

7. They were warned he didn't care about small businesses or farms.

If they, or any other citizen, did the minimum of investigation, they could see the clear evidence he only cared about getting as much money in his personal bank accounts as soon as he could, and he didn't care where it came from or how he might be cheating investors or other people
They heard him lying outright and often, sometimes for no reason, even if the truth could help him.
They saw what he was capable of the first time he was in office, but was constrained a bit by staffers and a Congress that still cared somewhat. They saw how little attention he paid to governance or the wellbeing of the American People in general.
They could read a synopsis of Project 2025 if they cared to
If he put "I don't give a F**** about the USA, Gimme Lots of Money if You Want Anything from My Government" on a huge flashing Neon sign over Mar-a-Lago, he couldn't have been more obvious on what was going to happen to them.

He has no friends. He doesn't want friends. He just has business partners, sugar daddies, or sycophants.
