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.
Yeah you need to find someone who wants to do that kind of work, I understand, you dont want to go through the trouble of having to replace someone after you find someone
It's also expensive to train them. They'll be months before they're fully up to speed and can be sent off unsupervised.
