Hi all ,
Winter is a great time for reflection, maybe more so for agricultural workers. I've recently been made a salaried position at a mid-large farm. I have a degree and five years experience within the trade. I was curious to any or all the farmers on here if they're seen as assets or expenses where they work? Are you going to keep farming or are you cutting tail and pursuing other opportunities?
I am no land owner I simply work on the farm.
My second inquiry is to the older generation of farmers that may be here. How are you all doing? Its been a hell of a 2 years through weather, covid and now we gotta worry about fertiliser costs etc. My heart goes out to all who've lost their family land, I hope ya'll are well.
I belive not many in this world know just how much of an individuals time and mind go into the food on a table. I hope all on here can reach out a find a farmer maybe ask em how they're doing, without that food surplus this society ain't going to function. Does anyone know agricultural groups? Unions? Somewhere where the young and old can come together a talk?
Take care, stay safe and God bless
