Depending on whether he got laid or just got drunk last nite will have a direct effect on the mix. No mixing long enough after dumping all that stuff in and sending out to the bagger will give you a bad batch.

So, Go check if they have green cards or not. Not sure if that will make a difference, but I hope to hell it lightened things up here.
Not sure what the person doing the manual labor's immigration status has to do with the soil...but at least your post was descriptive.
