Florida farmers now plowing over perfectly good tomatoes as Trump's tariff policies cause prices to plummet

[Squaredeal]

12. American farmers always plow under crops when prices are too low.

The article , to me, is somewhat confusing.
From what I understood from reading the story, Mexican farm goods are still coming in because production costs for them are low enough to add the tariff and still undercut Floridian farmers because U.S. farm labor costs have now increased to the point that farming some types of crops are no longer profitable due to fewer worker availability, hence higher labor costs to pick the crops.
