I can remember being at my grandfather's office in the 1970's and seeing checks go out to Mexican fruit pickers for well over a thousand dollars a week (in 1975 $1,000 would be worth $4,557.32 in 2016).

How many kilos does a tub hold? Who the fuck knows, a shit load I guess.

Just to clear your confusion and lack of understanding. I never disputed the size of the tubs. Just the amount of oranges a single person has to pick to get a check for $1,000 every week.
Those Mexicans must move like superman or someone is bullshitting about the amount on the checks. Unless it was for ten people working as a team.
900 pounds of oranges @ $3 a tub needs 333 tubs a week or 299,700 pounds a week. Now work out how many pounds an hour that is.
No wonder so many support Trump!!!
