Agricultural Cultivation Laborers Union

Thoreau:
Welcome to the Agricultural Cultivation Laborers Union
We are uploading this video on the web so the world can tune in
I'm not a farmer but have access to the conditions they are working in
This is farmer and president Neil Zimmerman
He's going to outline the union's goals and its plan
Farmer Neil:
Thank you Thoreau these are the goals of a years time span
The tobacco companies promise high wages as an incentive to grow
But when every farmer at the poverty line tries the wages drop low
But addiction still costs a fortune for those using the tobacco
So the ACLU district 36 is on a mission
That farmers always get paid on commission
And get government grants for those farming cheaper crops on a moral decision
And we recommend a state maximum acreage to grow tobacco on
And the farmers willing can rotate on that opportunity every season
So that economically and ecologically everyone's helped within reason
