BALDWIN: The cars started lining up in Little Rock, Arkansas, before the sun even came up. And when the Arkansas food bank finally opened yesterday, it only took them an hour-and-a-half to run out of food. Look at this line. 840 families received food at this one particular event. Workers estimate there were 2,000 people who did not. Same story, different zip code, these are pictures from Newark, New Jersey. As layoffs and furloughs push unemployment rates to stunning new levels, half of the people who show up at food banks nowadays are newcomers.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I've never done this before. It's a shame that I have to do this. We're alone, you know. Even my neighbor, she's alone too. So that's why we really appreciate it. ></s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: These are experiences, you know, first time, because it's hard for them.</s>BALDWIN: Well, here's a whole other issue as people are lining up for food. A lot of farmers are seeing their crops go to waste. There's no one to pick their vegetables or process their milk.</s>PAUL FOUTS, NEW YORK DAIRY FARMER: I mean, the food is here. The farmers have it, and the consumers need it. Somehow, we've got to get the system in between to work for that.</s>BALDWIN: Meat producers are also finding themselves at the mercy of a stalled food pipeline. The president of the United States has now ordered meat processing plants to stay open despite serious outbreaks of coronavirus among workers who spend hours a day working in close contact. But will these workers show up to work without protection?
