Farmers are navigating product shortages due to the supply chain issues. Minnesota Senator Amy Klobuchar says there are short-term and longer-term things that could be done to help alleviate that stress. “We need to make more stuff in America. This won’t fix things in a month, but it could one year from now.” The workforce shortage is another factor and Klobuchar says listing visa caps on immigration could also help with the labor needs. “It’s everything from agriculture temporary workers to work permits and a long-term path to citizenship as an incentive for people to work in America.”
