If you are so proud of your time, better just keep doing what you're doing or buy your own farm. Many operations that need help have bid their profit into land rent/payments and equipment. If they need a steering wheel holder, it will never come with a six digit salary.
If they have bid their rent so tight that they can't afford help, they shouldn't bid on the land or they shouldn't complain they can't find help. If you figure out tillage, planting spraying fert etc, how many hours are you actually spending on each acre? Is it even 1 hr? It may seem like more, but that is because it is so packed time wise. Raising pay for $10 up to $17 seems like a lot, but it doesn't ad up to much per acre, especially if part time help. If you pay $10/hr, you get $10/hr help, and that costs more most of the time. $10/hr is only 20k a year for 40 hr week. Take taxes, gas money, etc out of that and I can see why people don't want to work. | |
