If you don't think that there aren't people doing that already in this country, get out of your bubble. How much do you think farmers are making?

Farmers (i.e., Farmers, Ranchers, and Other Agricultural Managers) make a lot more than $450 a week. Average salary for these folks is $70k/yr.

A farm hand only makes like $15/hr on average, which puts it on par with a job at McDonalds or such.

I think people are doing it and I think it sucks. If you are making $10 an hour in the US you aren't really making ends meet.
