[QUOTE="- Claireview -, post: 420409, member: 6657"] I talk to my dad quite a lot about this. My generation is so lazy it makes me wild. My friends often say that they feel 'sorry' and 'sad' for me because of the work i do on the weekends, when, according to them - i could be shopping, going to the movies or having parties in town! unbeleivable!. :mad: only this morning when we were mustering, dad was saying that majority of the kids nowadays wouldnt even know where half of their food comes from. Most kids dont even know how to grow their own food - its disgraceful. Unfortunately even kids i know now who have grown up on properties all of their lives want out - they want to get (and some have already got) apprenticeships and so on with the mines because farming is all thats been pushed at them since they were born - and the mines pay anywhere from $1000 to $3000 (and up to $100 and hour in some trades) a week compared to the $400 or so my next door neighbour used to get for being a jillaroo. - I think to get more young people into agriculture is to send troubled (criminal etc) kids to work on properties - they could do something constructive with themselves and sustain our countries future while they're at it. I am really glad that this topic was brought up, because i fear for our countries future - this place is full of idiots who are lazy and couldnt care less about anything but themselves (not everyone is like this, mind you) and once the last of our original "cowboys" and bushmen pass away - who is going to teach us the proper ways to farm? One day, agricultural practices will be able to be controlled from some flash office in the city somewhere and the days of working from dawn to dusk and home made machinery will be a thing of the past. I do the best that i can to enjoy everybit of the experience dad and the old bushies that ive grown up around give me - it mightnt last for much longer but i am dedicated to stay within the agricultural industry - no matter who tells me otherwise. Sorry if i blabbed on a bit - i think about this so often, its fantastic to see this topic up here. God, i hope there is more people my age, with my kind of attitude willing to dedicate themselves to sustaining our futures. S. [/QUOTE]
