5:29 pm
far this year the amount of imported fruits and vegetables in the u. s. has surged 13 percent according to the department of agriculture, putting many east coast farms at risk because grocery stores these days while a year around consistent supply. and we are a seasonal production area. we can't supply everything 12 months so either. so people are gonna have to think a little bit differently about how they deal and the wholesale market i'm, it's going to be a challenge. some farmers are selling directly to local consumers, attempting to diversify their crops and their customer base. and in may, president biden authorized funding to produce more fertilizer domestically, as well as incentives for us farmers to plant more crops to help make up for shortfalls of ukrainian wheat. but it may be too late for tom shepard who's looking to downsize his operation and expenses. he currently employs more than 200 people. unless the ya berkin consumer god, rooster request, the supermarket, sir,
