Look at the price of that!

I have friends in Worcestershire and Herefordshire who are warning people to get ready for seasonal fruit and veg to get more expensive next year.  If farmers down there can no longer take on (mainly eastern European) migrants as casual labour to get their harvests in, they will have to pay significantly more to persuade British workers to do the work and that extra cost will be passed on to us, the consumers. So next year's asparagus crop will be the first test!
