How many migrants am I gonna need to hire in order to pick, crush and process these things to make one tank full?

 

we have plenty of them here in texas.

i went to the local hang out to pick some "workers" up the other day to have them do some work around the house. they apparently think they have a college degree! they wanted $15/hr. needless to say, they did not do any work for me.
