The specific part I was calling BS on is

>there's not enough people to actually do ...

IMO there are plenty to do the work. There are not enough people who are sufficiently incentivized to do the work at the wages that farming pays. This is in comparison to other choices people have be it easier work or higher paying.

That's just shorthand for the market will not sustain those wages.

Unless you have a greater point or suggestion to make, why waste time on pedantry?

I think it’s worth pointing out. We see the same ‘we can’t find people to hire’ point being made by tech companies trying to find developers. The solution is the same for both: pay more. If you’re going to use shorthand it make it accurate. Just say ‘we can’t/don’t want to pay for the workers we need’.
