Your point is a goofy point. You raise wages to get the result you seek which is a good labor supply comprised of American Workers with a strong waiting list of qualified people. They achieved that with the $2 raise in 2017 with the prospect of another $3 in 2018. Maybe they raised it to $3, now but at the time of the article and the 150 on the waiting list, a simple raise from $11 to $13, a $2 raise produced the result they sought, all the workers they needed with a strong waiting list to back it up and supply any workers they needed for growth, so why would they offer $25?!

Obviously, it's too complicated for you to understand. The $25 was and attention grabber that I threw out there. I am not for $25 per hour, nor a minimum wage set at $15 per hour. The farmers can offer better working conditions than their competitors, other benefits, or higher hourly wages to attract more workers. Mandating a minimum wages can take away part of their competitive options.
I have explained my reasoning, and it is over your head!

It's not over my head. You made a goofy point and got called on it. The proper reaction is to applaud the higher wages that proved what many of us have been saying all along:
There is no job an American won't do at a fair wage. It's not about minimum wages or phony wages, it's about a fair wage, that's all Americans have ever asked for or wanted to do any work anyone wants done. Fair wages will vary with the job, so employers have to re-learn how to do this simple thing: offer more money until the Americans show up, then you'll know you're paying a fair wage for the job and have qualified American Workers lined up in droves.A Nation Without Borders Is Not A Nation - Ronald Reagan

And you highlight: "Something has to pay for that increase." CORRECT! THAT'S WHAT I KEEP SAYING!
I see this argument when employees are boycotting companies like McDonald's claiming they make millions in profit so they should giver the employees all that money. You look at these big companies that have major breakdowns, like oil refineries. If they paid out all their profit, they would be out of business with the smallest breakdown. Businesses need reserves.
And there are many variables to consider. I ran three big rigs. In the early 80's another trucker bought three new rigs. My drivers asked why I didn't get new rigs. With the work slowdown after Carter, the repo guys came past us one day, while we were waiting for work and those three rigs were gone, along with the driver's jobs. One of my drivers kissed his truck because he still had a job.
Another driver quit to work for another trucker who offered him more money. He came to me complaining that that other truck was so hard to operate that his back hurt. He wanted me to fix the other guys truck so it would be as easy to operate as mine. Long before, when my dad was running trucks, paying drivers 22% of the truck's gross, a driver went to another trucker for 26%. He ended up coming back after a couple of months because that truck broke down more often than my father's trucks and he ended up making less.
Like I said, pay is just one consideration.

Everyone knows pay is just one consideration. Why do you think people here don't know that?
