during the peak of the COVID labor shortage, many producers did increase wages but found that they still couldn't get workers. also in North America at least, many/most laborers are undocumented immigrants. white collar workers aren't quitting the desk to go out in the field..it is backbreaking work. if the labor pipeline dries up (which is a very real thing as immigration has decreased in North America/the US) then no one will be doing that job.
i suspect the amount of money that farms would need to pay workers to fix these shortages would drive all producers into bankruptcy
forget dating even, i'd say that is a 2nd order effect of having more resources anyway
