I own a farm, and all of my migrants are here legally on H2A visas.
I know many farmers, and we all use legal migrants.
I don’t know of a single row crop operation that isn’t fully staffed with legal migrants.
Nurseries on the other hand are almost all illegals. It is rampant in that business. I’d wager the number of illegals in Oakdale, Glenmora, and Forest Hill LA would rival any other sector in our state.

Exactly! It’s not worth the risk. Same with all the rice/crawfish/cattle farmers.

I wonder if it’s because they are tied to the landscaping businesses?

This is inevitable given the exponential advance of High Tech. We can hardly imagine the changes likely to come, assuming we survive the social upheaval re the unemployment dynamics.
We know the Transnational Progressive 'solution', I.e., shifting from a Top-Down total control "consumption/production" based economic/civilizational model to the 'Equity' version. Question remains as to what practical, functional and moral alternative that the Individualist/Capitalist (God-based) Model can offer.
Will be interesting to see how this shakes out.

F**K 'EM! There is a program specifically made to allow farmers to hire immigrants legally. Farmers should either hire Americans or hire migrant workers using the the H2A visa program.

It’s because they are under the radar.
Hundreds of nurseries in that area are small operations. Those pineywoods around Forest Hill and Glenmora are full of small 3-5 acre nurseries. They aren’t shipping all over the country, they are selling their inventory to the larger nurseries next door who then ship it nationwide.
H2A requires we supply our workers with housing that must pass inspection every year. We also have to provide them transportation, personally I use those white multi person vans. We are responsible for transporting them to and from their home country as well when their contract is up. In other words, the people who are doing it right have considerable expenses in addition to the actual labor costs.
A guy with a few acres of nursery and a couple greenhouses isn’t doing all that. A lot of those little nurseries are just side gigs.

Particularly as our growth rate continues to slow.
