What's worse, in my view is that the farmers would rather waste the produce than pay market wages for workers. Pay enough, and you will get workers.

I agree with paying fair wages. However if they are going to just let it rot, why not let people come pick their own produce for a fair price? We have many you pick it farms where I live & people make a whole day out of it. At least the stuff doesn't just rot. The people get cheaper produce & the farmers get money.

I lived in the valley till recently and let me tell you, these farmers are worth millions.

They've got the freaking money but are sending DC a sob story cause they want slave labor.

I'll do without their bloody produce, thank you. They can all go pound sand.
