Zach Rutledge is an assistant professor in the Department of Agricultural, Food and Resource Economics at Michigan State University who spoke for the Grow It Here campaign.
He says about half of U.S.
farmers face some kind of labor shortage.
Farmers say lowering costs for employing temporary foreign workers could help, but some say they still rely on immigrants who can work year-round.
The U.S.
Labor Department has warned that a worker shortage is, quote, threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices.
