Comment on Dairy farmers say worker shortage is threatening UK food security

There isn’t a worker shortage, there’s a compensation benefit.
You offer six figure, part-time contracts and the applications will come flooding in. Offer enough to get the number of applicants you want.

Farmers and fieldhands never have been a rich bunch, most of them literally just get by.
Farmhands have traditionally been migrant workers willing to work for cheap with free room and board. Many parts of southern Germany still operate on cheap summer workers from Bulgaria.
It’s not a compensation issue, it’s a lack of migrants issue due to the UK’s new found sense of xenophobia

I have bad news for you.

I’m not disagreeing that the UK is xenophobic. I would disagree that the UK’s xenophobia is new found. But it is also a compensation issue.
