Thompson, president of the
Pennsylvania Farmers’
Association said.
In a statement presented
to a House Education and
Labor Subcommittee on
behalf of the American
Farm Bureau Federation,
Thompson said, “since the
minimum wage tends to be
the floor under which no one
will work, whether the
employer is required to pay
the federal minimum or
not,” any increase in the
minimum wage would very
likely lead to higher
unemplyment.
“Employers, including
farmers, would be forced to
place greater emphasis on
the efficiency of labor in
their operations in order to
offset, in whole or in part, the
higher wage costs, since the
price of labor is based on
productivity - that is, the
worth or value of the service
performed,” Thompson
explained.
“There would be a loss of
jobs, both in terms of people
so discouraged as to not even
try to seek employment and
in terms of jobs eliminated
or not created.”
Thompson pointed out that

an increased minimum wage
would also worsen inflation.
“Because increases in the
minimum wage have an
effect on the entire scale of
wages, there would be a
ripple effect on all wages -
not just on the workers who
are now being paid the
minimum wage.”
The Farm Bureau
spokesman told Sub
committtee members that,
while farmers are not ex
perts in the field of labor
economics, “we are experts,
in fact the world’s leading
experts, in the field of
producting an abundance of
food and fiber. We do this at
the lowest per unit cost of
any farmers in the world in
large part because of the
implementation of labor
efficiency on our farms.”
And he added:
“Any farmer who employs
one or more persons is af
fected by. this legislation.
“We believe an increase in
the minimum wage would
drive from the labor market
the least educated, least
literate, and least skilled of
workers...,” he said.

legislation to raise the
