[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7547668, member: 2119"] Other than a few large intensive livestock enterprises, every operation round here, large and small, seems to work on self employed labour on an "as and when necessary" basis. Sadly the full time farm worker died out in the mid 1980's other than core staff/working farm managers on large estates. The farm manager on 6000 acres and his assistant/gamekeeper/handyman are the only full time employees. Everything else is done by contractors, self employed casuals or students at harvest. Then there are the one or two man family farms relying on family labour. That's about it. [/QUOTE]
