Why Is There An Opportunity?• Migrant labor is not available now
In the US started by bordering crossing rules and worsened by Covid-19
• Spring Seeding is not being performed as normal
• Migrant workers are not available to do the planting and land preparation
• Migrant workers unavailable to harvest the food growing now
• Without the seeding, fall harvests won’t happen
• US Supply chain is starting to crumble• Farmers are starting to fail – food service is not buying their crops
• Trucking companies going bust – 50%+ reduction in movement
• Distribution companies failing – Most depend on food service
• International Supplies Will Fail In Similar Ways
