WAGES
Continued from cover
many growers, and enable farm employees to
avoid paying market-rate for rental or other
housing elsewhere.
The risk profile of farming is also relevant to this discussion. Farm businesses,
unlike any other industry segment, are
acutely susceptible to wholly uncontrollable
externalities, ranging from oscillations in
the weather and pressure borne from invasive insects and diseases, to name a few,
says Furey. To account for these risks, successful farm businesses actively manage
expenses wherever possible to maintain
profitability. A drastic increase in the minimum wage rate throws a wrench into their
ability to manage such risks.
Indeed it does, echoes John Ploch, president of Ploch Farms in Vineland. This family business started in 1915 and has survived
the Depression and 101 years of sometimesextreme weather conditions, and annual
economic fluctuations, but such a significant increase in wages would threaten its
existence.
Payroll cost is through the roof now,
and labor is our largest expense, says
Ploch, whose 280-acre farm employs 35
people. Our prices must remain competitive, so it comes down to how much we can
absorb. If we cannot make a decent living,
we have to decide if we can continue to
farm. I guess well cross that bridge when
we come to it.
Bill SCR-1500 would amend the State
Constitution and raise New Jerseys minimum wage to $9 per hour on January 1 of
the year following the amendments
approval (expected to be January 1, 2018)
followed by increases of a dollar each year
until it reaches $15 per hour on January 1,
2024. Starting in 2025, it further calls for
the minimum wage rate to keep pace with
cost-of-living increases, based on increases
in the consumer price index.
New Jersey State Assemblyman Bob
Andrzejczak (D-District 1) said he is generally opposed to the $15 minimum wage
increase and has been advocating for an
exemption for agriculture proposal. This is
an industry that cannot set its own prices,

By the Numbers
On April 14, the New Jersey
Department of Labor and Workforce
Development issued a news release,
which announced that New Jersey
employers added 17,300 nonfarm jobs in
March, according to preliminary data
from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
(BLS). It shows private sector employment increased by 78,800 jobs over the
past year (March 2015March 2016).
Garden State private sector employers
have added 265,000 jobs since February
2010, the recessionary low point for private sector employment in the state.
The release noted that New Jersey
residents who have reported to have jobs
again reached an all-time high, climbing
to a historic 4,378,500 in March 2016,
according to the BLS household survey.

to our mom, Anna
Corrado Magazzu
Trapani!
You have been a wonderful role model to
your two children and
your five grandchildren.
Your love for your family
is expressed in numerous ways, and we appreciate the sacrifices you have made
through the years. So many Italian family dinners you have cooked for us for
decades, encouraging togetherness and
family values which you hope to pass
on. Although you still wish to do everything exactly as you did when you were
a young wife, we are also happy that
you now give in to our wishes to celebrate some family holidays on us.
Your grandchildren express amazement at your continued high energy
level and zest for life.
Of course, they were not here 40
years ago when you faced deadly illness
in the face, and triumphed in the end.

can feel good knowing youre switching to a fuel thats more
efficient than oil, electricity, or propane.
So when you upgrade to natural gas, you downsize your bill.

Character
Education
Committee and the
School Garden
Committee wanted
to develop a school
garden to offer students, faculty, parents, and community members an opportunity to use the garden as a way to build a
bond between the Bridgeton community,
home, and school.
This is an opportunity for all the stakeholders to learn about nutrition, leadership, teamwork, pride, and collaboration
by participating in this farm-to-table
learning activity in school. The garden
will give students the opportunity to learn
where their food comes from, how it
grows, and that a healthy diet starts with
fresh fruits and vegetables. Teachers can
use the garden and create integrated lessons with the core curriculum, including
math, social studies, language arts, science, health, and art.
