Labour is huge, especially for me. I don't use machinery. I have glass greenhouses for broccoli, blueberries, strawberries, and cauliflower. We used to grow sprouts and more cauliflower. We're at the bottom of the totem pole. People don't say that when they grow up they want to work on a farm picking berries, harvesting cauliflower, or picking peaches.
There's the foreign worker program. For the LMO, it takes a long time to get approval for workers. Through CIC, a lot of cut-off workers want to come back, but they sometimes cannot return.
As for local labour, I would hire local labour in a second, but it's next to impossible. When you do find labour, what I've personally found and what colleagues have told me as well is that workers stay around for a maximum of 20 to 25 days until they find better jobs.
When I bring workers from Mexico or overseas, making around $10 an hour is a lot of money for them. They're more passionate about it.
