Millennials
Need some extra help on a seasonal farm. Scroll through friends list on social media. Reach out to candidates that might fit. Get some replies denying the offer, thanks for that, others, one in particular shows interest.
Call you later. (this at 10pm). Says 11, doesn't call, I fall asleep waiting for call.
AM: (text from her) nooo, obviously meant to be in touch but something came up, Sleep, etc. no worries. I'll call later.
I respond, sure, get in touch.
Almost 24 hours later I reach out again:
Come close to 8oclock, "yo call me damn it"!
Response is: I'm busy will call tomorrow around 10:30.
Sorry princess, I reached out one too many times. You are not working under me. The encouraging note is I have also been working with the generation under the millennials and the seem to show a lot of promise.

Man good luck. It's hard finding people to do farm work. I'm lucky as some friends kids are in HS and love farm work.
I was just talking to the manager of a horse sanctuary down the road and he can't find anyone to do the work and he's paying $18 hour. Dairy down the road always has a help wanted sign out and their start pay is $15.

Finding people that want to work on the farm is tough. We had some luck putting flyers up at the local Tech school but it's hit or miss whether they're up to the task. I've had better luck hiring recent retirees than hiring millennials.

We've got good help here in EWA in the form of migrant farm workers or at least we did before you-know-who started rattling people. You all don't have that resource?

A few years back I stumbled across an Op-Ed from 1938 in some major newspaper of the day. (Sorry, no idea how to find a link). It was talking about how "kids nowadays " are so lazy because they never had a teenage job due to the Great Depression, and furthermore have no male role model to teach them a work ethic because their Dads and Uncles don't have jobs either. Fast forward 5 years and those worthless kids became known as "The Greatest Generation".

Maybe it's just been too long of a week, but for some reason I found this absolutely hilarious.

If its cotton, perhaps try reaching out to the African-American community?

You guys must be 1st generational farmers or something. Best place to find young Caucasian farm workers, is to poach 'em from their parents on a nearby farm. Even for similar pay (as if we ever really got fair pay for our family 'contribution'), it was always better to work for the neighbour down the street.

We employed a similar strategy when we needed temporary seasonal labor on the farm during the harvest. My dad bought the local high school football coach lunch one afternoon and asked him to send over some of his boys names and numbers. This was a while ago so those kids weren't really millennials and may have had a bit better work ethic but it provided us with a decent sized pool of labor for the six or eight weeks we needed it each summer.
