Forrest Crissey in the current Saturday Evening Post analyzes a farm labor shortage that could disrupt food production. He cites a nearly thirty percent shortfall due to urban migration for higher wages, arguing decisive action is needed to prevent widespread hunger.
The piece argues farm labor shortfalls stem from men quitting farming early, moving to towns, and often doing little. It notes renters replace them, lowering productivity, while higher city wages also contribute. The author urges stays on the farm to ease the shortage, and cites broader regional concerns alongside local notices about loans, jobs, and community updates.
