Labor and Equipment Costs Worry Custom Harvesters

U.S. Custom Harvesters Inc. President Paul Paplow says labor and high equipment costs have been the talk of the group’s annual convention. “High equipment costs are going to be an issue for everybody, and labor is also one of the biggest issues that we face every year. Right now, some states are issuing H-2A visas, while others are not, so, until that stuff gets opened back up and H-2A visas are being approved everywhere for Commercial Driver’s Licenses, that’s going be a major issue for a lot of our members.”
