[QUOTE="Lowland1, post: 8129136, member: 66524"] The trick is not to give them much choice. Obviously boys are keener on machines but with my daughter it has just been ‘can you give me a hand i need a bit of discing or mowing etc’ no pressure. She helps her mum now with the agronomy and paperwork quite willingly. I think to encourage kids it’s a case of choosing the middle ground using them as free labour ends up being countproductive but also leaving them in the house etc when there’s work on might say they aren’t wanted. We’ve always let our two know that the farms where the money comes from and sometimes life gets hard. Whilst i joke about how i didn’t want them back i really am very happy their keen. However maybe if all the future held was holding a muckfork them maybe they wouldn’t be so keen. . [/QUOTE]
