The U.S. is largely self-sufficient in agricultural food production, supported by a well-developed storage and interstate trade system. However, extreme weather events put increasing pressure on agriculture, potentially impacting the country's ability to provide food for its growing population and underscoring the importance of maintaining a resilient food supply chain.

"With over 40% of American farm workers lacking legal status, people who used to do the heavy lifting are now staying home in fear while crops rot in the fields."
Deliberately choosing to decimate your labor force, labor desperately needed to put food on your table, for the cheap, evanescent thrill of demonstrating domination over those you consider less than yourself, is not just stupid: it's suicidal.

"Setting aside perceptions, foreign leaders are aware, even if Trump is not, that his anti-immigrant push has hurt global and local economies.
In the US, no sector has been hurt more by Trump’s anti-immigration push than farmers. American farmers today say their #1 challenge isn’t the weather, equipment costs, or even the mortgage- it’s finding enough labor."
