OK fine. You wanna do migrant farm labor?




If I could still physically do it, I'd be thrilled to do so, Jim. My
grandmother owned a huge farm in North Carolina and I truly enjoyed

going
there every summer during my teenage years to work. I worked

side-by-side
with the hired laborers and did every single job they did. However,

because
of the low wages for most of those jobs today, I certainly wouldn't do

some
those jobs today (even if I could physically do so). However, a few

farmers
in the area still pay well and they have no problems finding labor. If I
could do it, I wouldn't mind doing one of those jobs one summer just for

the
fun of it.



Here lies the rub, Dwight! Although I disagree with a lot of your views
on race, you are spot on on this thread sub-subject.


No, the damned rub is in how much our products would cost if the jobs
migrant and transient workers do were paid at much higher pay
scales!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not that I want to see anyone suffering...

However, I doubt you'd find the workforce needed to do the jobs even *with*
a higher payscale... Physical labor is an art these days.
