There might be right now because the economy is in the crapper, but I would bet they would have trouble filling those positions when things are going good. For minimum wage you can work in the fields or you can work in fast food or any number of jobs at convenience stores, service stations and other places. Of them all field works is probably the hardest and most back-breaking. If it were me and I had a choice between flipping burgers at McDonalds and working in the fields for the same wage, I'd be a burger flipping fool.
