I was speaking towards to the comments he made regarding sub minimum wage, cash under table payment, and being able to "simply raise the price" of a crop based on costs.
sub minimum wage is common in all farms...a lot of the pay is similiar to piece work...for so many bushels of potatoes you get $X for so many hay bales bucked, you get $X for so many beets thinned/dug/harvested you get $X...An hourly wage isn't allways what workers work for...Cutting hay will net you $X, per acre, picking peaches will net you $X per bushel...Now if you were to work for say Del Monte, or some HUGE international company which there are darn few of, you may get an hourly wage for every aspect, but it's doubtful...Most farm workers are considered to be independant contractors and get paid by the job at hand...The farmer will pay you $X to plow 100 acres...etc...
