Norfolk farmer Andy Allen could not get enough pickers and so a 10-acre field has been left unpicked.
Farmers have been hit by the loss of EU workers after Brexit, the loss of Ukrainian seasonal workers and a limited number of foreign worker visas.
The government said it would be increasing the number of visas issued.
Mr Allen, of Portwood Farm, near Attleborough, said he had decided not to plant any more asparagus.
"We waited four years to get a harvest from this particular field and so to not have anything from it at the end of the day is pretty demoralising," he told BBC Politics East.
"We would normally need between 90 and 95 staff. At the maximum we had 75, and during a lot of the season we were dealing with 65.
"We would have expected to harvest 150-250 tonnes this year. We are 30% down."
When asked about the government's announcement this week that it wanted farmers to plant more produce, Mr Allen said: "They are in cuckoo world."
The May 2022 Food Labour Market Survey found that 49% of growers and food manufacturers had reduced their output due to a lack of workers, while 77% of businesses were experiencing shortages of low and unskilled workers.
