Or, looking at it from another angle unemployment in the UK is sub 5%. To some economists that's pretty much full employment, allowing for the usual churn etc. So the chances of any of them being in agricultural areas and looking for a seasonal job are low. And I say that with some (albeit limited) knowledge... The UK workers we can get are generally pretty good; the Poles / Latvians / Lithuanians do on the whole like having them in their teams... but there rent enough of them. It's a short term issue though; any farmers with sense is only growing things for which growing / harvesting can be automated!
