Lost work due to bad weather (a more regular occurrence?)

Have a word with friends and customers of the people you work for. They’re bound to know someone wanting a hand, a personal recommendation is always best.

Worth looking into but again same as a lot of jobs, you need the experience to get work and work to get experience.
I've heard some agency drivers say work has been very slow in the UK this year and pay rates are back down after all the fuss a year or so ago. Having a licence would give him more options in the slack times though.
agree - staffordshire is not far from shropshire and our least skilled operator earns more than that in full time employment, our more skilled guy significantly more
if i could get a quality operator i only had to pay on demand when there was field work i would happily pay double that rate and still be better off

If you're being sent home then look for another team to work for.
You're being considered as the lowest of the low on the team and (under)paid accordingly.
There are opportunities out there on the edges of agriculture that will make you realise in 12 months how naive you have been to accept your pay rate.
Farmers, agri contractors, mechanics, groundworks contractors around here ( North Yorks) are wondering how they will get through the current season.
You may be looking hard but you're not looking in the right place.
Good luck.

Agree with above, contractors rather than farmers is the way to go. Get a reputation for being good, reliable and no hassle and there'll be loads of work.

it’s not just this season, it’s driven my reduced cropping plans for at least the next 3 (sfi) years.
