Exactly. That can be the worst!
They're also in a shiny new facility with new tools and a climate controlled workspace.
I take good care of my employees. When I get back, I need to somehow find another employee to work on the farm full time. They're bitching about needing another employee and haven't had any luck finding one.
I wouldn't think there are a whole lot of employment opportunities in the area of your farm and there would be lots of local folks looking for a good job
It needs to be a good fit. Farm work ain't easy and the hours are long. There are no days off on a farm, meaning that they may need to work at 03:00 to help with the calving season and shit like that.
I pay well. I can actually pay farm labor less by federal law, but I still pay well.
Still, it needs someone that fits and wants the job. We don't want someone that's going to work long enough to save up for a better car and then go get a job elsewhere because they now have the wheels to take them there. We want someone that's going to stay there until they retire.
