Bekaert draws all of their own wire in Van Buren. Stay Tuff's wire is drawn mostly in Mexico, but the do a little in Poplar Bluff, MO and Laredo, TX. ST makes some net in Houston, but for the most part it all comes from the same looms that Rangemaster does.....in Mexico. Bekaert actually makes really good wire, but it takes that extra bit of work and investment to translate that quality into the finished product. If you load 13 line wires into the loom, and they have a spread of 25% on tensile strength, you are guaranteed to have slack line wires. The cost to go the extra mile is why we will never be cheaper.

This is essential what has happened to every labor intensive job in America and around the world. They have machines that harvest a lot of the agricultural crops that took dozens of workers before. Example look at the size of the combines. There are berry picking machines. Most feedlots are very mechanized as ever before. Hard to mechanize a pasture but with proper management one person can manage more cows and be more competitive. Milking machines a mechanized to the point that one machine recognizes the cow washes the udder and milks each quarter and shuts off when it empties that quarter. Records the amount of milk and feeds the cow that required amount according to her production.

I have a few labor intensive job openings. Pay is good, and no chance of being replaced by a machine.

How many workers did that track mounted post driver replace. Technology in fence building.

probably fewer than your tractor and hay baling equipment replaced....

This 'technology' thing isn't anything new. It began when the first homo erectus fashioned his first tool and has been going on ever since..

None. It made the only guy that shows up every day more productive. Believe me, I wouldn't have ever been driver shopping if I could find help. I agree with part of what you are getting at, but the other side of it is the fact that nobody wants those jobs as long as it pays good to sit at home and smoke cigs while you make babies with your girlfrend. I know it's diffrent in other parts of the country, but around here, if you want a job, you already have it.

Where can I apply and does the GF come (absolutely no pun or double entendre intended) with the job or am I gonna have to find my own?

I'd start here, but I can't honestly answer about the girlfriend. I'd say it depends on how good of a job you do, but that's just a guess.

Naw, best i can tell, the girlfriend stays with the guy who doesnt do the 'job' with her; but tells her he loves her while sitting at home (unemployed of course), playing xbox, smoking weed and banging the neighbor girl....while his 'girlfriend' goes to work 2 different (crappy) $10/ hr jobs to support him and their 3 or 4 kids (that he is allegedly babysitting). Atleast thats what i have seen at least a 100 times with the young ladies i work alongside. I used to ask why do you stay if you know all this? Standard reply most every time...because he loves me.

The US is uncompetitive and make it worse by using government money to prop them up. Look at the car industry. Most of it is still junk compared to other makes. Socialism is what the US has been doing for years. Talk big about free world then get upset with the free world.

government controls all means of production and distribution of goods. ... Socialism is also characterized by the absence of private property. The idea is that if everyone works, everyone will reap the same benefits and prosper equally.

Fascism, Socialism. Communism and Capitalism. Which one when comparing them are we closet too. Is it a little bit of all of them. Can Capitalism fail has nearly several times and was recused. What would we have without any government. Would it be anarchy what is anarchy is it we do as the ones that are strongest in society bullies the less fortunate in to submission and then what would this government be called. I forgot one and that is feudalism. That is where the rich ones own every thing and we become serfs and do not own anything.

Given my druthers I'd 'ruther have Capitalism myself.

Just sayin'....

I'm seeing it around here all the time. Guys are putting in small (1-2 sections) pivots in the corners of their fields and pulling off the hand lines. It saves them on labor. We're becoming too mechanized, and at some point it's going to start to have some consequences.

When the top 1% controls 90% of wealth, how far off are we from that?
