I grew up around a farm. All of us, kids, cousins and uncles worked. We were self sufficient and knew how to get by.

Most of the farms are gone now...squeezed out when the factories moved in and everyone went to town to work. When grandpa died all the kids sold the family farms for easy cash.

Now, that all the factories have been 'deported', people have nothing to fall back on.

The young kids, for the most part, wouldn't work in a pie factory. The few farmers left are holding on by a thread and hiring the only people who still know how to work...Mexicans.
