The media in the UK says that they are having to hire Brits for their harvest time now because they haven't had enough workers to help in the fields.

Produce rotting in the fields and not enough help to clear the field.
The travel restrictions are causing farmers to hire airplanes to go to Romania etc states to bring the workers in.
