Huskerpatriot, I used to work on a ranch/farm in Sidney Mt. I worked 7 days a week in the conditions you briefly spoke of. I have farmed on and off most of my life. I don't think its people being lazy. It s more like they don't make any money for the hours worked. The juice just isn't worth the squeeze kind of thing.

It may be for the owners, just not for the ranch hands. The other thing that most do not know is, you never get a day off to do anything. Cant make plans with the wife and kids. Most farm or ranch operations pay a monthly salary. Not hourly. Then when you get old and cannot deliver like you once could, then your gone with nothing. Thats why help in hard to find in agriculture. The work is satisfying,but the pay is not.
