    Also our domestic tomato harvest is going to be the lowest in 3 decades because farmers have no one to pick them. So they planted only enough their local labor can handle. Usually million of migrate workers would be arriving in America to plant and harvest. Now… Literally zero. Last year they were caught off guard. This year many farmers went under, sold to corporations, or reduced yields drastically. We are in for major food shock this year.

    (not to mention the war impact on fertilizer costs.)
