Guess he was so terrible at business that paying something that literally everyone else pays to their employees makes his company dip into the red. That's the free market for yah.

Well tbh agriculture isn't quite the same as a manufacturing job. Agriculture often has peak seasons (obviously) where the hours get horrendous, and it is part of the job that you take on these hours. Paying overtime is a huge shift. There was a reason these jobs have been exempt.
I, and pretty much every other professional are also exempt from OT, you don't hear us complaining or that our businesses are shafting us.
And part of it is also the other changes, like the $1.36/GJ carbon tax. Imagine how much gas these guys burn heating their greenhouses all year.
