He was saying that after Brexit he won't be able to get the operatives to harvest his crops so all his produce will be left to rot in the fields. He said he would have to think about growing something else that didn't need manual labour.
The thought that went through my head was what on earth did he do before free movement of labour? Farmers used to grow crops that were picked by hand back in the day. From memory, I seem to recall it was common to use gypsies and students but I'm sure there were other groups too.
I suspect his real beef is an economic one in that he won't have cheap as chips labour on tap anymore.
