question/83235334007/
Fifth generation dairy farmer Dustin Machia said Wednesday the arrests of eight farmworkers by Border Patrol agents on Monday in Berkshire sent shockwaves through Vermont's tightknit dairy farming community. The reason is simple: Vermont dairy farms can't survive without migrant workers.
"I'm very worried about it," Machia said of the arrests. "It's not sustainable to not have (migrant farmworkers). Farming would be very bleak and the cost would skyrocket in the grocery store, because you can't pay an American to do (this) job any more. Americans just don't want to do this job. Without the foreign labor, it's just not sustainable."
Machia & Sons in Sheldon employs 11 migrant farmworkers to milk about 1,400 cows on two farms. The work is dirty, dangerous and unrelenting.
IDC if every farmer for him goes out of business. They know exactly who he is from his first turn and didn’t learn because I guess those white men like government handouts.
It doesn’t say he voted for Trump
Something like 80%+ of farmers voted for him.

Yes, he voted for Trump. It's right in the key quote that's going viral.
