California Farm Bureau Federation is surveying its members to try to learn the extent and severity of labor shortages being suffered by California farmers during this harvest season. We've received anecdotal reports of 30%+ labor shortages (if you need 10 people, you have 7; if you need five crews, you have four, and so forth...)
If you're a farm employer and you have information to share about your labor situation, please check out the CFBF labor survey here.
