[QUOTE="hendrebc, post: 5300298, member: 70166"] Id bet that its not just a UK problem though i bet its worldwide. A days tractor driving on a weekend while dad is busy or help getting cows in for milking. Even feeding the sheepdogs while someone is on holiday. All adds up i bet our unpaid family labour bill would be quite large if i had to pay my sister a wage when shes been helping dad. I bet it woukd be £2k a year off the top of my head? And she doesnt do much only faffing about helping dad with what he cant do because of his bad hip. But then she doesnt pay livery for her bloody horses or kenneling for her damn dogs so she is still probably way ahead. f**king horses :cautious::banghead: Thats the problem with farming its become a lifestyle and not a job like almost any other industry. But i suspect a lot of small family businesses are the same though. Thinking of our local village the pub and the shop are both family affairs were everyone pitches in as and when they can. Local shopkeeper reckons he couldnt do it any other way or no one would shop there if he had to rise prices enough pay wages :( his wife watches the shop while he goes to the cash and carry and has his meals. Theyre both proper grafters though they open 6.30am every morning and are open till 7.30pm 364 days a year only close on christmas day. Not a job id want to do its more of a tie than milking no wonder they are trying to sell. Will be a hell of a loss when they are gone :cry: [/QUOTE]
