What is the average sort of pay for these workers?
Today at work
- Thread starter Penmoel
- Start date
- Location
- LINCOLNSHIRE/KENYA
Minimum wage is £3 per day with transport provided but we pay most of our people on piece work so we are looking at least three times that for harvest workers and skilled workers such as tractor drivers will be on about £300 per month. However i pay a lot more than other farms because we are very mechanized compared with other farms an equivalent size farm to ours will usually have 1000 plus because they will be hand planting and probably making seedbeds by hand. We don't employ casuals so all our employees are permanent which entitles them to holiday pay and sick pay etc. It seems terrible but unemployment is more than 50% and most of the population live on less than a dollar a day.

No pictures as it was boiling hot even an hour ago, full on and plenty of flies overhead but the Roussin flock got a wormer and Clik flystrike preventative , lambs all tagged.
Freddie almost nine but drove the quad bike back under supervision as far as the road, ran around splitting the ewes and lambs with me, tagged the lambs whilst I gripped them and then reloaded the tagging pliers and wrote the tag number of sex of each lamb in the book.

Wrapping on a nice warm day. It got up to 38 degrees later. Cooling my hat over the AC outlet made getting out to change rolls not too bad but it was hot enough for the film to break 15 times which is 14 more times than it did last week for the same number of bales.
Then tedding, a bit annoyed to see a severe weather warning for Essex for Friday now, where did that come from?
That will have to be hay as we have almost enough haylage now.

Well done. It can't be easy, but it means that families have a chance to buy education and health care. It gives worth to human lives rather than just get it as cheap as possible.
Hard call, you must have your business reasons but you are different from others and I see good in what you are doing and changing the norm usually isn't easy
