Episode Details

From the fields to the packing plants, our food and agricultural firms are highly dependent upon immigrant labor. Under Kristi Noem, the immigrant raids have been less on the farm and food processing plants than in other industries but still have had a significant impact on the immigrant labor force. Pete and Bert talk about these effects along with the rising transportation costs that the farming industry is facing and the need for local, sustainable food production.
