I did look around at BFE Ozark country and see what welding jobs were there and it showed a few starting at $18-20/hr so Busby is tracking correctly there. They were bare minimum requirements though, like mechanical aptitude and pass an on-site MIG weld.

Man, I need to see if any of those guys would be willing to move to BFE Kansas. I don't need a welder, but I could use some base level competency.
I'd have to ask around here, I try not to
need anything welded, so I don't really know what welders make. But if they're working for less than $20/hr they need to wise up.
