In the short term, this will hurt sectors of the economy, but in the long term, won’t this raise wages for pretty much everyone in the blue states / cities they focus on?
No. They will close down, cut their losses and do something else. While letting everything they grew rot on the ground.
In the short term it doesn’t matter. Eventually some other company or smaller scale farmer will fill the void.

Long term, the market will grow and adapt.
