[QUOTE="Cows 'n grass, post: 7828988, member: 1711"] I feel there's a lot of under selling of dairy farming as a career on here. I probably don't pay the highest wages but rarely does anyone work more than a 40 hour week and it's a job that I hope offers a decent amount of variety and working with stock can be very rewarding. My latest recruit has spent the last 15 years driving for contractors, it's done his mental and physical health no good at all and so far I think/hope he's enjoying his career change. I'd want more that 45k to sit on a sprayer working 20 hour days when conditions are right then doing nothing for weeks on end while it's raining. Dealing with lethal chemicals every day wouldn't be for me. [/QUOTE]
