[QUOTE="kiwi pom, post: 8040897, member: 946"] It's a tricky situation not helped by the fact that many farms have deliberately downsized or simplified their operation so they don't need staff. It works well until it doesn't. When I still lived in England I was self employed for quite a while and over the years had quite a few customers. Some I did a lot of work for, some not so much. If they had a drama or a staff member left suddenly, they new they could ring and I'd do my best to help out. One dairy farmer would book me in for a week twice a year so they could go away on holiday etc. It only worked because I could be flexible and have enough regular work booked in during times I wasn't needed for an emergency.
