[QUOTE="A6gal, post: 210400, member: 2034"] mdmdogs3 - not sure of your location, however I'm in the same boat, only dad passed away a few years back. I've tried hiring help here in south Texas and believe it or not, nobody wants to do physical labor anymore. Not even the illegals. I did use one guy for two days to help out a friend, but he was more interested in finding a place to break horses and the fear of getting caught working an illegal made me a nervous wreck the two days he was on the place. I was relieved when he didn't come back. I hired four others (not illegals) and each one lasted a week, got their paycheck and didnt return on Monday. I did find a guy who would work for $10 an hour but I swear I could accomplish double what he was doing in a day. He did a good job, just worked very slow. I went back to doing things myself. The suggestion made a few posts back about contacting the local FFA chapter at the high school might be a good bet for some part time or weekend help. I'm considering that option myself. I'm surprised about how many of us single women are out here doing this alone at this age (40's). What I wonder is how many older women are doing it. I'm trying to figure out just how long I can keep this up myself. [/QUOTE]
