With today's inflated economy a small farmer or rancher would have a hard time making it without a second income. I went to HS in West Texas. It was a farming community, good people doing hard work. They were and still are totally at the mercy of the weather. Spend a lot of money planting cotton and watch it get washed away a couple of times and you're done. now days even small farmers hire wetbacks to plow, plant and do the work. They're cheap even if they don't care what they run over. I don't know the answer but hiring illegals isn't it. We're going to be overrun with them. Our culture is already eroded to the point it may never recover.
