Cheers for the thoughts I can’t understand whether it’s being tight or can’t be arsed. It’s going on the bill and a takeaway it is And yes we get the sit down meal in house some places and a sandwich/cake/drink sent out while on the job ranging to the above and another that went to shop to fetch...

interested to hear other people’s views on this :- We run a self propelled forager team in Yorkshire predominantly and we don’t charge extra for throwing the tyres on (providing they don’t take the p*ss) and just ask a brew for the lads while they do it (myself included) and one customer...

Think there is a strong feeling of they know they're home at a set time every night regardless and no weekends, easy to keep the spouse happy and all that- but farming has no chance of competing with those wages so maybe its best to get the job club to actively promote farm work and get new...

I take the point we perceive there to be more responsibility, but surely the only reason they command a higher premium than those stacking shelves is nobody wants to give a normal 17 year old off a housing estate the chance to learn from scratch so we all try and poach people from other farms by...

They use straw more efficiently on the floor but it’s too tempting to just cover...
