Sweet potato farmers are seasonal, so might need some temps, tho usually they become available as needed.
A true story from several year back, during the "first wave" of northern migration of authentic Mexicans.
Shorty Moore; one of our drivers with J.T. Garrard had worked around and wound up in the oilfields of OK. Trucking company there had a yard for trucks, equipment and shops. Chain link fence around and one gate, everything in and out thru it... So they had this young Mexican boy working there as all around
hostler and "go do this". Called him Jose' and was there when Shorty started. All Shorty knew was he was there and worked and was good help, so he did not think much about it.
So; one Thursday afternoon, up rolls the green Ford Fairlane with the whip antenna (Pre ICE days) , inquires in the office and takes possession of Jose'. Jose' is observing the discussion from the back seat of the Fairlane and as it winds up and he is about to be transported, he requests to talk to the boss about his pending pay confidentially.
So he get over to the boss and only asks. "If I'm here Monday, will I have my job back. Boss is thunderstruck, but feeling sorry for his situation says, "If you can be here at 7:00 Monday, you can work".
All the gang hang out and drink up a few for Jose' but ; Hey, he is gone and we got to be there Monday.
As they drive up to the gate Monday at 7:00, Jose' uncrosses is legs, gets up from sitting and waits for them to unlock the gate. Shorty sad he knew they had not come back after him over a year later...Sons Hero, austinmike, Feedman and 6 others Thank this. -
