The California Farm Bureau fears a downturn in the amount of citrus being harvested amid migrant farm worker deportation worries.
The bureau says nervousness among the ag workforce is spreading.
Monterey County says that the large absence of the 55,000 migrant workforce in the region could result in unharvested crops, leading to losses and higher food prices.
The Farm Bureau is teaming up with county leaders to support affected workers and their families.
