It wouldn't be $8 a head.

A study was done that even @$10/hr. it would only raise it half a dollar.

One of the sheetheads was named "halfadollar", who's got the other names, stooge fans?

I can't believe it would be that much, it doesn't take long to pick a head of lettuce.

That's twenty heads of lettuce per hour - one every three minutes.

One head a minute would only be 16 cents a head.

Perhaps. But the profit margin in that highly competitive market is only a few cents a head. Adding a half dollar to the cost would completely price the producer out of the market. You say "only" a half dollar, but that is a huge percentage increase. In other words, a non-starter in a free market.

Just because a producer's costs increase does not mean that it increases the market value of his product.
