Also from the article:

Jake Harward, who owns a farm in Utah, says he employs about 40 workers seasonally to plant and harvest the crops he sells each summer, and even though he posts the jobs in four different states, he has only had a handful of applicants from the U.S. in the last 10 years.

Farmer Harward does not say what he pays his workers. Many of these employers do not pay a living wage, often explaining that paying a living wage would be bad for business. Bad for business meaning bad for their personal wealth accumulation.
