Maryland farmers report a severe labor shortage worse than wartime with thousands of the state’s 48 000 farms unable to hire needed help. Dr Thomas B Symons says about half the farms have sufficient workers but most must rely on sons wives and cheaper outside labor while wages rise across industries.
