Do any farmers post signs: "Will provide food in exchange for work"?

[Boojatta]

I have seen signs that say, "Will work for food."

1. I'm sure it would

violate some kind of law. Like minimum wage maybe?

2. Wouldnt it be bartering?

[bbinacan]

3. It would be.

Does a barter exchange satisfy minimum wage reqs?

4. I knew some families back in the 50s that were sharecroppers n/t

5. Yes. But the signs say "busca ayuda" n/t

6. Tell them you have some work fire them to do and will give them food.

Someone says they need money for gas their car ran out. I tell them ok where it's your car and I'll go get you some. Or they need money for food ok there is a mcdonalds up the street meet me there. Works everytime. They smile and realize I'm no sucker.
