Yes, so true. God has given us a HUGE land. We have always fed ourselves.
Right next to those farms are the CANNING factories.
Also, the Mexican braceros come north for the three months of picking, and live the OTHER nine months in Mexico on what they make in three months in gringolandia.
Americans won't pick berries or cotton for less that $10.00 per hour. I think that's the new minimum wage here in California. The braceros work for a LOT less. Everyone is happy. My retirement allows me to afford all that expensive food. Worth every penny!
