Blueberry farmer cites U.S. 'torment' on workers

A pretty inflammatory headline (http://www.philly.com/philly/business/124144869.html?page=1&c=y), given that the article concludes:

This year, Butch DiMeo said he spent $40,000 to lease commercial-grade buses operated by licensed drivers.
It was a good move.
DiMeo said there is a labor shortage on Atlantic County blueberry farms because the Labor Department is cracking down on bad transportation and turning back workers headed north.
"I feel great," he said. "If I didn't bus these people here, I'd be in big trouble. I have a crop, but I wouldn't have any workers to pick them."

Then again, I guess I might have seen a news organization or two sensationalize a story or two through the years.
