Hi Neil, I appreciate your post of finding a suitable farmhand. Unfortunately on this board you will find mainly white collar people that have never touched a cow in their lives. But good luck with your search

The way in which the economy is going many people doing white collar jobs will also be working in farms to make ends meet
