IS IT POSSIBLE to FARM without foreign labor?

I found this article about farming in Britain during Covid interesting.

So here's a thread. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/07/business/British-farms-labor.html?smid=em-share

"In this pandemic year, Britons can be found in fields across the country, doing something they probably would not have imagined a few months ago: working as farm laborers, picking berries.

And pretty much enjoying it."

“It’s been really fun, but it’s been tiring and hard work,” said Ms. Chandler, a professional cricket player whose season was cut short. On a recent day, she said, she picked almost 556 pounds of strawberries in about five and a half hours. “It’s quite satisfying,” she said.

She had seen on the news that pickers were needed on British farms because of an expected labor shortage and said she had decided to apply to work on one near her home in Surrey, a county southwest of London.

Besides the chance to make some — though not a lot of — money, the pickers said, it was a good way to meet and talk to people while the country was on lockdown, and prove to themselves they could do something unexpected.

“At least I did something,” said Mr. Oyrzynski, who picks strawberries, too, at the farm where Ms. Chandler works. “I didn’t sit here and do nothing and be a couch potato. I’m proud of myself for doing that.”

The job isn’t glamorous, and the work is hard.

“It’s not the ideal job. It’s not something I would always do,” Mr. Oyrzynski said, but “it kept me busy, and it’s educating me.”

Fruit picking in Britain is traditionally done by seasonal workers from Eastern Europe. Over all, 70,000 to 90,000 seasonal workers are needed to pick all the fruit and vegetables that grow in the country.

Because of travel restrictions to curb the spread of the coronavirus, many of those workers haven’t been able to make the trip, have been delayed or have chosen not to come. By the time the pandemic hit Europe, most of the crops had been planted.

As a result of the looming labor shortage, the government started a “Pick for Britain” campaign in April to attract British workers.

Among those who signed up was Ms. Blease, a self-employed personal trainer who was unable to find work because of the lockdown.

The work is rewarding beyond the pay, Ms. Blease said.

“We’re all meant to be outside and growing our own crops and living off the land, and I think we forget that sometimes,” she said. When the pandemic eases, she added, she hopes to own a farm herself.

“It’s the hardest I’ve ever worked, for the littlest money I’ve ever made, but it’s the happiest I’ve ever been — it’s bizarre,” Ms. Richards said.

“I think going forward I want to work in the outdoors,” she said. “Being outdoors is more than enough.”

Farmers say they have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of interest in these jobs. They were afraid Britons would stay away from jobs usually performed by overseas workers.

SO even without seasonal foreign labor, it seems that British farmers have managed to get their crops harvested, by employing their fellow Citizens.

QUESTION: Could we do this in America?
