Apple Grower Seethes Over Labor Dept Delays in Harvest Help
Kenneth McDonald, an apple grower in West Virginia, says the Labor Department's actions hinder securing seasonal workers for a seven million apple crop. He notes uncertainty over foreign pickers and recruitment plans, with about 5,000 workers needed across West Virginia and nearby states. A key meeting is set to discuss potential solutions as the season nears.
