For years, Shelby County tobacco farmer Paul Hornback has advertised locally for hired hands. The results are always the same - not a single offer to help tend to his burley crop.

If you only offer a wage that migrants will take, then you will only get migrants.

Al Gore, comes to mind, he is just rambling around aimlessly on a few global warming gigs, and could use full time work... he boasted of his experience raising tobacco, all phases of the work...

That's what I thought. How much money are they offering?

Seems to me that $8.24/hr is pretty good if you also provide housing, utilities, and transportation costs.
