Farmers and field-hands never have been a rich bunch, most of them literally just get by.
Field-hands have traditionally been undocumented workers willing to work for cheap with free room and board. They work dusk till dawn, have dinner with the farmer, and sleep in the farmers basement or unused shack. The farmer pays them under the table with cash, and they leave after harvest is done a few weeks later.
Many parts of southern Germany still operate on cheap summer workers from Bulgaria.
It’s not a compensation issue, it’s a lack of migrants issue due to the UK’s new found sense of xenophobia.
There isn’t a worker shortage, there’s a compensation benefit shortage.
You offer six figure, part-time contracts and the applications will come flooding in. Offer enough to get the number of applicants you want.

I have bad news for you.
I’m not disagreeing that the UK is xenophobic. I would disagree that the UK’s xenophobia is new found. But it is also a compensation issue.
