Another problem you have these days is people actually want a life, their wives want to see their husbands and kids want to see their dads. Who these days want to work 40 hours a week and do 1000 + hours overtime a year. For wages just a few pence more than the national minimum.
I got out of farming Christmas after working for the same farm for 20 years, now driving loading shovel in the local quarry 5 and half day week, able to plan things with the family etc, far less stress.
The farm where I used to work were out drilling till midnight Saturday night and finished about 9 last night.
Then you wonder why farms can’t get staff.
