Tennessee?
Perhaps Algore can help:
"I want you to know that with my own hands, all of my life, I put it in plant beds and transferred it. I've hoed it, I've dug it, I've sprayed it, I've chopped it, Ive shredded it, spiked it, put it in the barn and stripped it, and sold it."
Maybe he was talking about pot, not tobacco.
LOL, Gore is insane.
A friend of ours tried to hire teenagers to help him with his hay last year. The first day, two passed out in the heat and had to be taken to the hospital. None came back the next day. He refused to hire Mexicans so he did it all himself. Most of the time he mows and bales by himself but people pick it up in the field for a discount price. Last year he was going to keep it all so he tried to hire locals to pick it up for him. Didn’t work. LOL
TN is miserable in the summer with the near 100 degree temps in late summer and extremely high humidity. Back in the old days, farmers had sons that worked the fields and that was all they did. They were used to it. Nobody wants to work the farms now. They all go out of town or work in the factories. That leaves migrants. I don’t have a problem with the documented migrants but the illegals have got to go!
