[QUOTE="Coximus, post: 8013546, member: 12800"] I agree, agriculutre is having a wake up call like no other - loss of subs at the same time the labour economy is pinched, combine with the working expectations and conditions from an employees POV on a farm are, quite frankly shiiiiiii eee. The only people I know who would work on a farm are those who want their own and do it for the skills and the hope of getting a foot in the door - but for a family farm that means commitments they can never keep or afford - A big one too - i find alot of farmers expect the same commitment from an employee they have - but the employee owns 0% of that £millions asset, and gets no benefit - and certainly isnt going to stay over time for free for a stuck calve, thats the owners problem and cost - when compared to working on a building site or the roads - 5 o lcock comes, you go. Sales up - get a target bonus want hoiday any time like harvest or lambing? kids at school? Unless you pay alot, or give a stake and some freedom to your staff, In the coming years I think farming will have a massive reduction in staffing. [/QUOTE]
