I wonder if the choice of hitting the California farms was geographically motivated as part of the president's revenge against the governor of California. If so, clearly the derivative disruption of food inflation was not considered - which seems to be standard operating procedure for the current Federal administration.

Easy to see if the theory is realistic.

I did a quick search for "farm worker shortage in XXXXXXX", where XXXXXX is a specific state. Guess what? Georgia has a major farm worker shortage also, where farmers are losing massive amounts of money due to ready-to-be-picked crops are spoiling in the fields because there is nobody to pick them. Spankee kills more farm profits yet again. They are getting what they voted to receive as a result of their choice. Suddenly, they do NOT like it....
