I can remember when the local high school football teams tried to get hired for the potato harvest to get in shape. It made more sense than doing jumping jacks on a field.

I worked on a chicken farm, 85,000 chickens, you shoveled food in at one end of the barn and shoveled the poop out at the other.

It was a shovel ready job long before Obama came on the scene.

That chickenpoop could make some nice methane to run the natural gas heaters in the winter...
just an observation.

I grew up on a small family farm and worked for a neighbor farmer who was no relation to me. It was hard work and I survied nicely, I learned how to and know how to work.

My grandchildren ALL grew up working on their other grandfathers corperate farm. (Under this new law they would not be allowed to work on that farm). Each one of them graduated from high school at the top of their class and went on to college doing the same. They KNOW and learned the work ethic on that farm. Each of them has achieved success in their chosen fields (One is a LT. in the U.S. Navy and two are music teachers).

This new law only veils the attempt to create jobs for illegals. It will definitely hurt the all farmers.

Been there, done that.
