He has been promised a caravan to share withhis friends on a farm in Norfolk. “In the evenings you’re allowed to just chill with your mates,” a rare luxuryin current circumstances.Finding enough summertime labour has often been a struggle for British farmers. Factory workers used tomove south en masse to enjoy a family holiday while picking fruit or hops. In recent years, the indigenouspopulation has turned its nose up at agricultural work, and farmers have come to rely on importingBulgarians and Romanians. Uncertainty around migrants’ rights and Brexit led to a decline in workernumbers last year, and around 16m apples were left to rot in orchards. A near-shutdown on Europeanmovement has only deepened the crisis.Invoking the Women’s Land Army that kept the nation’s farms going throughout the second world war, theBritish Growers Association is trying to recruit a new “Land Army” to fill a shortfall of some 70,000 workers.The government’s “Pick for Britain” campaign similarly aims to tap into the wartime spirit.So far Britons seem largely unmoved by the appeal to patriotism. Concordia, Fruitful and hops, threeagricultural recruiters that have formed the Ethical Alliance of Labour Providers, say that 32,000 haveapplied, but only 13% have so far turned up for online interviews.Even if enough native workers can be found, that may not solve the problem. Britons have a reputation forbeing work-shy. “Often, you have people who want to start, and we’ll say, come on Tuesday or whatever,and then they simply don’t turn up.” says Sebastian Hall, a recruiter in Suffolk.Alison Capper of the National Farmers’ Union, herself a farmer, wonders whether new recruits “will be ableto pick at the same rate as people who are practised in these jobs”. Jack Ward, boss of the British GrowersAssociation, worries about timing. Although new workers may arrive just in time to save the nation’sasparagus, an early end to the lockdown could send students and furloughed workers scurrying back to theirreal lives and jobs.For some farmers, the risk of relying on Britons is too great. To avert a crisis in the polytunnels, they havestarted shipping planeloads of Romanians into the country. Air Charter Services, whose customers arenormally the uber-rich, has been hired by g’s Fresh, one of Britain’s biggest salad producers, to fly 150Romanians into Stansted airport on April 16th; a further five flights are lined up. Each seat will set g’s Freshback £250 ($313), and the passengers (who have been deemed essential workers by the Romaniangovernment) will be kept apart on the flight and tested for covid-19 on touch-down. The airlift may spoilthe wartime-spirit narrative, but it may save the nation’s broccoli.
