- sigmaprimus 7y agoThats great, I honestly hope everything works out! I am currently living in Canada and things are not going so well up here. I have read several stories about American farmers suffering and losing crops due to the pandemic and labor shortages, though truth be told I read those articles on the internet and it is possible that if I looked for good news stories I would find those too!! Sometimes I get sucked in by my own echo chamber! Not to mention the fact that farmers in general have an incredible ability to find something to complain about no matter what the situation. Eg. Too cold, too hot, just right?!? Just right is even worse as that just means low prices...on and on it goes. That being said, I believe this article covers most of what I see going on, and to some degree the point that my original comment was trying to make but feel it is a bit more fair and balanced rather than a "The sky is falling" attitude like my above comment had. https://www.marketscreener.com/news/Arizona-Farm-Bureau-COVID-19-Pandemic-Causing-a-Downward-Spiral-in-Arizona-s-Crop-and-Livestock-Pr--30381685/ https://www.marketscreener.com/news/Arizona-Farm-Bureau-COVI...
