For example. "Under H.R. 2710. all employers except farmers are permitted to hire young firsttime entrants." That is a wrong statement. That is a wrong statement. It only excludes the migrant and seasonal workers from the training wage as we have represented before. Not all farmers. It is a misleading and Incorrect statement. In the third paragraph: "Given these restrictions. the Farm Bureau is mystificd why farm employers are prohibited from paying the training wage." Again. this is incorrect. Except for migrant and seasonal workers they can pay less than the training wage. The quote is completely disingenuous. Farm employers are not basically covered. By and large they can pay less. So they are mystified why farm employers are prohibited from paying the training wage. In most circumstances. they can pay just about what they want to. what the market will bear. with the sole exemption for seasonal and migrant workers. "All we say is farmers should be treated no differently than other employers of temporary and seasonal workers." Fine. The Senator from Texas is not saying advocating the application of this whole legislation right across the board to agriculture. and that they would then all be treated the same. All be treated the sameconcerning overtime and other provisions. No. he is not saying that. He is just saying the migrant and seasonal workers should be included in the training wage. Of course he would not represent acrosstheboard application of the same standards because he recognizes agriculture is different. We have understood it and have treated it that way for 50 years.
