(FOX BUSINESS) – Farmers on the West Coast are warning of potential food shortages caused by inflation and drought, but now, some farmers are struggling to find feed because shipments are delayed.
"We have enough of corn to hold us off for a few more days, and then we’re going to be out as well," dairy farm owner Darlene Lopes said. Lopes said she normally would buy corn throughout the week, but the shipments from her normal supplier have stalled, caused by a backlog of train shipments and a labor shortage.
"The primary challenge at hand is a labor shortage, which railroads are working to address through aggressive measures to attract new workers," Association of American Railroads Assistant Vice President of Public Affairs Ted Greener said.
