Field workers can make $10-15/hour (particularly when working piece rate). I know, because that is what my father-in-law paid several years ago at his vineyard in Fresno County. I worked along side them in the field and know how long and how much (I calculated the paychecks). That is not always the rate (for instance when farmers want the workers to be slow an careful they pay by the hour). For myself, I would rather pay more for food and less in taxes, which would be the case if illegals were expelled (supply of labor goes down, price goes up).

But what is the minimum wage for Ag workers in your state - the one you must post?
