I asked the neighbours 21 yr old son what are you going to do for the winter, his responce was i am going to farm .What he really meant was drink beer, play hockey and video games.We have many like him in our area, they make a way more farming a section with daddies equipment than most workers make in a year. When i started farming all us had winter jobs to supplement our farming career.Case dealer told me they cant find anyone to work in their shop for the winter.Thank God we have the new people to our province who are willing to work or half of our businesses would have to shut down.

Those young people will have zero clue when SHTF as they get older .
Very few like that here , the big issue is that age group in town , it’s far far worse .
May daughter ran her paint business again this year , did very well but had to go through several 17-20 year olds that were far too lazy to actually work day in and day out . A lot of little privileged lazy kids that would rather sit at home collecting Trudeau bucks than actually work for themselves. It’s a reflection on the parents IMO and will be very detrimental to their kids future . It’s been proven to be a train wreck , we see it all around us here . Crime , drugs and gangs , it all starts at home .

This new generation solves problems with a call for someone to come and fix it.We run used equipment and the dealer is the last resort for problems. I have taught my boys how to diagnosis and fix, be it a mechanical or production issue.The new equipment does look intimidiating however with all the electronics .

I started farming 10 years ago and I still have a full time job to support my family, plus we run 250 pair cattle. The farm makes enough to grow a little each year and pay my bills. I dont know where you guys farm but around here all of us up and comers work year round to support our farm addiction.

You must be in a very odd area , that’s not the case anywhere here other than the odd exception

Need a snich line that pays $100 bucks per, for all those that collect unemployment insurance all winter, for years - easier to collect a check
