Faced with an urgent shortage of workers, California farmers are desperate to be heard.
quote:
If we can’t change the way we’re doing business, we’re at risk,” said Brad Goehring, a fourth-generation wine grape grower in Lodi.
The state has been struggling with this farm labor shortage issue for years, but it’s gotten to a point where farmers are fed-up.
quote:
As harvesting season gets underway, many growers in need of workers fear they may lose their crops, and President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration orders appears to only make matters worse.
Goehring says it’s become more and more difficult to find people to do this work.
“It’s been a real struggle and it’s been increasing the last 5-6 years,” he said.
Goehring is among the growing number of agricultural businessmen in California who have tried a number of strategies to lure workers. From putting ads in the paper to offering benefits- such as health insurance and 401(k)s, Goehring has even increased pay on certain jobs up to $22 an hour.

People on this board badmouth food stamps but they do a lot of good - the look of pure happiness on my kids' faces when I whip out the ebt card and tell them we're going to Tony's for boiled crawfish, hell, they can't load up in the escalade fast enough!

You know what really grinds my gears.
See it about once a week on FaceBook. "can anyone hel me buy a can of formula to feed my starving baby, we ran out and WIC won't give us any more until next week"
What the frick? You can't even bother to buy a few cans with your own money when your fat welfare baby eats an entire month's worth in 3 weeks?

I was assured that we needed illegal immigrants to perform farming duties because the pay was too low.

Bottom line is that for this type of labor which is seasonal, the American workers as a whole are inferior. And if they are receiving food stamps, they are more likely to be living in an urban area away from the farms. The only sane way is to offer some kind of work visa to the Mexicans, who will actually do work instead of sitting on their arse, and not try to fix a system that works well. Nebraska is having the same problem with their feedlots. How many hours per week are you willing to move to Nebraska and shovel manure in less than ideal conditions?

No shite. People get decent pay to not work, why would they want a paycut and an added 40 hrs a week?
How about just get your own unskilled citizens to do unskilled labor.
Unskilled labor isn't some derogatory term, it just means you haven't learned a trade yet. Learn one if you want, don't if you don't.
It makes no sense to make the population pay more in taxes to support unskilled and unemployed Americans while importing immigrants to actually do the unskilled labor. Who by the way also receive federal benefits paid for by tax payers.
Cut out the fricking middle man that wants to keep touching all the money and give it out like an allowance

As many as it would fricking take to feed my family.
But u guess I was just raised different than leeches.
And by the way, I've worked on a farm shoveling manure and other jobs a hell of a lot harder than that for 1/4 of what he's offering to work my way out of the poor house.
It's how things are supposed to be done instead of sucking the taxpayer tit perpetually.

Depends on the pay.
If I can make baller money doing that for a few months a year, I'll take it. If you get paid what you're shoveling, I'll take a different gig.

Yep, around here it's Tysons. Lots and lots of Brown folk working at Tysons, while US citizens sit around collecting welfare screaming about "Messicans is stealing our jobs"
LOL if you had taken that job, Tysons wouldn't need the "messicans"

Have you seen these new combines? They got heat, air conditioning, radio and CD players. Hell, they probably have video games these days.

Here's an idea, and I don't know much about farming, but maybe plant less fricking crops?

Friend of mine here in BR owns a lawn/landscape business. He's got over 250 accounts.
Starts anyone out that knows how to operate lawn equipment at $18/hr. No experience, but willing to work $15/hr and will bump you to $18 within 3 months.
Has been turning down new accounts because anyone he tries to hire won't or can't pass a drug test, or refuses to start on the crew as the "edger/weedeater"...all want to just ride the mower right away.
