Re: Fears come to fruition
A huge amount of this is seasonal work which in the past was done by students to supplement their student grants. I know because i used to do it in the 80's when at college. Living in rural Shropshire at the time, there was lot's of farms to chose from and plenty of work. I did this for two years until i left college and got a full time job.Re: Fears come to fruition

I think that most seasonal pickers come from very low-earning eastern European countries. They were prepared to come over for the three months or so and work long hours to get as much money as they can. Unfortunately, I think Brexit, the thought that they are no longer welcome by some, plus the pound at the moment hasn't helped, as they can earn more in other EU countries.Re: Fears come to fruition

This is exactly what happens when people use cheap labour instead of investing in machinery and automation.Re: Fears come to fruition
