    The concept of a plan.

    Literally says nothing about what they are actually going to do about any of it, just that they are gonna fix everything while they boast about how cheap gas was under Trump last time. All while immigrants working on farms stayed home today out of fear which will literally make food more expensive as crops sit unharvested.

      Serious question, what work is being done on a farm in January? I realize that the South doesn’t typically get cold, but they have planting and harvest seasons too. It was my understanding that these tend to be migrants, who travel to southern countries during this time.

        Primarily planting in California in the main agricultural areas. There’s stuff being grown that is frost resistant as well, but less than what’ll crop up closer to March and beyond. With that said, yeah, the winter is down time for the workers who fill in like contractors for the major farming operations that don’t have year round employment.

        Well that’s how you get out of season crops year round. And states like Arizona, New Mexico, and California do quite a bit around this time of year. It’s one of the reasons there’s a water crisis too because a lot of these states that have deserts are using water from rivers like The Colorado River faster than it can replenish. Right now it’s -5° in the morning where I live, but in those southern desert-like states it’s probably like 40°. Temperature wise it probably feels like my October, which is around the harvest season.

    Regulatory costs might be borne by the customer but it’s worth paying attention to what’s being set aside. If the food or water supply rules are loosened that will be a huge problem.

    Even if this causes orices to drop it won’t last or be good in the long run.
