I’ve always heard that hiring legal workers would raise the cost of fruits and veggies a few cents.
Sounds like a fair deal.

I wouldnt mind working on a farm since I was born and raised in the country. Most produce nowdays are harvested by machines.

Back in my younger day, they would hire youngsters from the local schools to pick apples, for example, and that gave the us a work ethic.

I went out and hand peeled Popple pulpwood. 7 cents a stick and I remember peeling 300 sticks a day in season. Later, when the wood dried out, we all went back and cut it up and piled it for 6 cents a stick.

That all came to an end when that SOB Stiger from WIS started his little stint on preventing anyone younger than a certain age from doing such work because of safety reasons.
