If you like to eat, you can thank a farm worker, among the hardest-working, lowest-paid, yet most vital workers in America. Correspondent Luke Burbank talks with Shay Myers, a third-generation Oregon farmer who feels it’s important that agricultural workers get their due.

We have the resources, they are called prisoners! Put them to work and a farmer will never have to turn a crop again. In other words beets are not selling, guess who is eating beets!
The hypocrisy. Staunch conservative whines about not enough farm workers.
Plz hire me
Go Strong Good Man and lady 😊💪🙏
2 yrs ago? Please update this story!!
This guys company produces 2 million, fifty pound bags of onions a year but he couldn't get his asparagus harvested?
All the labor is going to drugs. The American dream
Kudos to this farmer!! I salute you. May god bless you and your group.
I am interested l from Jamaica my name is Gregory Johnson i am Interested
Everyone is getting degrees theses days.
“But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace”
That’s how our government works. My heart goes for these immigrants illegal or not. They do hard work period.!!
I really like this farmer…make america strong again…follow this farmers model.
So what this company owner is saying is that he is missing illegal immigrant labor and doesn't want to pay a living wage for an American. That's the "shortage". Nice…….
Her first request was to not be racist towards them. That hurts
Those some strange looking people up there.
I’m an immigrant myself about 55 years ago. I know how hard it is to work in this country, luckily I came here through the proper channels, but I do have empathy for these workers. My deepest congratulations for mr Myers for giving his employees the chance to improve themselves. Very few employers do that. Bless you.
Luv to hear that farmers are going bankrupt……vote desantis
It would be easier buy from Mexico
All we want is to work & go home.
This is when the US and some other countries, but mainly the US, have to realise that their quality of life is dependent on the graft of low paid workers many from other countries or the low cost labour in other countries.
7:55 – Clearly, somebody wasn't racist if she's here working.
Put prisoners out there and let them pick it.
I bet is a Republican who voted against his own self interest. No sympathy.
Thank Republicans for your losses.
Lots of jobs for Americans.
Get out of the business if you can’t pay a decent wage and benefits! I’m guessing this farmer lives a pretty wealthy lifestyle
WITH ALL THE ILLEGALS BIDEN HAS ALLOWED IN OUR COUNTRY WE ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN EVER! PUT THESE THESE PEOPLE TO WORK STOP THEM FROM MOOCHING OFF AMERICANS!
How about you pay more
Racism back fired lol 😅
Who gonna do-i love this
These people perform the most backbreaking jobs to feed our nation. They should be celebrated and appreciated not persecuted for the work they do.
BLESS OUR FARM WORKERS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
Good pick your own food.
If it’s such hard work than pay better and Americans will work for you, business is a competition if you want to compete with other employers than compete don’t hog up the profits and ask taxpayers to pay for everything that these invaders need.
Joe allowed 7 million illegals so where did they all go?
convict labor. lots of it needed
Giving the food away instead of letting it rot in the field is educational both for the population and fulfilling knowing that you didn't just let food go to waste.
Border problems could easily be solved by streamlining the system. Simply offer cost-deferred visas and work permits, along with background check for anyone who wants to visit and/or work. This way non-citizens could be taxed to cover indigents, and law enforcement could focus on real dangerous people.
People crossing national borders are no more or less bad for the country than people crossing state borders. Population increase through immigration is just as good or better economically than population increase through domestic birth. The vast majority of people trying to get in could afford temporary housing to get started, but end up losing their life savings paying crooked smugglers to get them past our absurd restrictions. This is all counterproductive and just political pandering.
And American the price of asparagus is going through the roof so Keep destroying The country Vote Gop😂😂and 😂😂😂😂
!!!YOU MORONS!!!! AS A NATIVE MEXICAN AMERICAN I CAN TELL YOU FOR A FACT THAT THE PEOPLE THAT ARE COMING INN THEY'RE NOT AGRICULTURE WORKERS THEY'RE MOSTLY FACTORY, WAREHOUSE AND OFFICE WORKERS AND MANY OF THEM ARE COMING TO LIVE OF THE GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS THAT THEY AUTOMATICALLY ENROLLED BY THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION OFFICERS WHEN THEY CROSS THE BORDER ILLEGALLY, I KNOW FOR A FACT BECAUSE I TALK TO A LOT OF THEM!!!👈👈
Build that wall dang it. We can starve together. We all know right wingers and they're culture issues are much more important than food, highways, homes, meat & food processing. Hungary? Thank Trump, Abbott and DeSatan.😮
Well well well. So the only way we can get whites in the fields is if their harvest is FREE??!!
This business owner
is a good man.
Sin mencionar que los indocumentados, nunca tendrán un cheque del gobierno cuando se “retiren”. Esa es la clave de porque no hay una reforma migratoria!
Send all the Venezuelan there they want everything free and don't want to work
Let's just annex Mexico as a US territory.
Nice try for a false liberal narrative…….but the truth is the millions of illegals coming across the border are here but too good to work in fields. The liberal democrats are paying for everything from free healthcare, education, cell phones and anything in between. Why do you think this is all occurring! This guy got scammed by his own democratic buddies. Hey why don’t you do a story on stop the lies from the disaster Biden clown show and lunatic liberals. We aren’t buying 😂
