My son went into the city a few months ago, staying with his cousin and looking around for work. He grabbed a job with a cleaning company. When we asked him why he jumped on that, his response was,"I was offered a job inside with reasonable pay. I asked myself,'What would my grandfather think of me if I turned it down?' I know he didn't always have the choice."

By the way, Rick Lee, the subsidies paid to farmers to raise certain crops increases the return to the farmers and keeps the cost to the consumer low. If you added a higher wage to that mix, you would increase the cost to the farmer again. If you wanted to sell it on the open market, you would have to increase the subsidy. If I was a farmer, I don't think I would go for your suggestion.
