Large capital requirement doesn't mean large profitability for the farmer. You are making at least as many assumptions as I am. What I don't understand is why

Large capital requirement doesn't mean large profitability for the farmer.
You are making at least as many assumptions as I am. What I don't understand is why you would assume that a person that says they prefer the 70 hour week with no overtime doesn't know what is best for themselves. They kept coming back to harvest for Schreiber for decades. People don't do that if they are treated unfairly.
From the article Mendoza was taking home up to $1,400 a week for the 6-8 week harvest period ($8,400 - $11,200). I would say that is not bad for 2 months work.
- DropInIn 3y agoIf you aren't beating a savings account with your business then you shouldn't be in business, that simple. From that, anyone running a multimillion a dollar a year farm should be doing very well or they should give up and let the market work properly instead of suckling on the teat of government. And yes, that means higher food prices. Every single person refusing to pay fair prices is the problem, and that's darn near everyone.
