87. Yeah, I picked berries for 5 cents a box as a kid

Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 12:16 AM by Generic Other

By the time I was in highschool, I was able to make as much as $10.00 a day.

I don't believe for a second that you couldn't get Americans to pick any old crops for $50.00 an hour even minus benefits. The trouble with farmers is they want to pay their workers under the table to avoid fair labor laws. No Labor and Industries, no social security, no Unemployment Compensation, and no work record. Fuck you McCain.
