Ooops... I mean pears.
Just saw a news report on the local news. Pear growers in Oregon are loosing millions of product in their pear crops. They blame immigration policies. I blame the people on the public dole that think they are too good to make $200/day picking pears.
Actually, an experience migrant picker will make about $200/day. The beer belly couch potatoes would likely be lucky to pick enough to make $50/day.
Anyway...
My solution is the same. Supply and demand wages. Raise the wages enough more that you will entice workers.
Sorry, I have no sympathy for these growers, relying on law breakers to provide them with cheap labor.
I found links of this complaint year after year in a search. The news today claimed $50 a tree loss of fruit rotting on the ground.
Libtards complain about cheap labor making shoes and clothing overseas. Why not in our orchards?
