Yes. Remember during the first lockdown the farmers did this big campaign along the lines of β€˜be patriotic and come and pick’ - I heard an interview with the organizers that about 50 Brits turned up and a week later one remained πŸ€£πŸ˜‚

It's a vicious decline. The foreign workers leave (or, in the USA, get deported). Crops rot because of the scarcity of workers. Farmers plant less - to match their picking teams. More food has to be imported. Prices go up. Oh yes, and in the USA, add the tariffs 😳 So much WINNING EVERYWHERE.
