Seriously??? What kind of employees do you get for $100 a day and a couple square meals??

How much steak and lobster or prime rib can you eat in a day? Food better be exceptional because the wages suck.

[Oliver88]

Won't get quality workers for those wages when certain farmers in Alberta are paying $60 per hour.

[JDGreen]

It must be some kind of joke I'm thinking. Or the guy is so high on himself that he actually believes its an honour to be paid at all for the work. Lot of the BTO's I know kind of get that attitude after a while.

[farmaholic]

Must be European or something, North Americans don't measure their farms in hectares!

[dalek]

Never said anything about passing a drug test

[farmaholic]

How could they possibly support a drug habit on those wages?

[bucket]

Maybe some oilfield workers will be applying.

[zeefarmer]

Should've worded it a little different. $3000/month sounds better than $100/day. Now that I think of it, I was totally ripped off working for -$2100/month on a custom combining crew back in 02-03. $70 a day, WHOO hoo.

The outfit is Mardell Farms Ltd from the Snowden Sk. area. The add is mainly for foriegn workers . They do the same for seeding and harvest. If you go to youtube and search it, it will show their setup, camp for workers etc. just search mardell farms.

[mustardman]

So they don't want workers, they want want Cheap help

Question.

Would any one buy into 25 bucks an hour plus if they found land to rent use my equipment as a bonus. They pay expenses on the land and the revenue is theirs could be a nice bonus.

I can't supply housing. But it might give a guy a start.

Trying to find innovative ways to rejuvenate the community.

Transients are not my cup of tea.

The key line up there, is the skills in English part. Obviously looking for imported, more economical workers. There are people in the world that would fit that mold. And I would bet many would work harder than the local farm boy who has never had to steer a tractor or shovel grain.

Filipinos for example, take their work seriously, and 3 grand a month would be fine by them...

Mardell Farms Ltd.’s main office is located in Saskatoon, SK. and has farms located in each of the Snowden, Hoey, Aberdeen and Colonsay areas of Saskatchewan. The main farm yard and farm camp is located near Snowden, SK. The farm camp & farm equipment move to the other farm locations throughout the season as the work on the farms dictates. 

Yikes they require 10 seasonals and move the camp from location to location. Two people to a room. Sounds like 16 hour days no days off. Hows it working for them?

Mardell Sweatshops Ltd.’s main office is located in Saskatoon, SK. and has prison sweatshops located in each of the Snowden, Hoey, Aberdeen and Colonsay areas of Saskatchewan. The main sweatshop and prison camp is located near Snowden, SK. The prison camp & support equipment move to the other prison camp locations throughout the season as the work on the farms and the master dictates.
