Back in 1962-1963, I picked green beans with other WHITE migrant workers for 1 cent a pound. 90 degrees, 75% humidity. Most I ever made was $5 dollars in one day.
Then the weather got dry and I never made over $2.80 in one day even though I picked the same number of beans.
Brother passed out in the fields, we decided to get educated and get the H*** out of there! We did.
I still eat green beans.
