[QUOTE="john250, post: 777855, member: 4406"] I quit tobacco because the labor was the most astonishing headache I could have. I had one family chase me on the phone for probably a year. They'd call every couple of weeks asking if I had any work. Finally, I had a tub and alley I needed to break down and move. I called these guys and asked them to come out at 1 pm. It was hot, and I swear it was not 30 minutes and one of them was puking. We did get the job done. I haven't heard from them again. :banana: America has a fitness problem. The military knows this, too. You take fat kids raised under air-conditioning and you really risk one of them dying in your field. I'd really call it a crisis, at least in my area. It is a crisis for the folks who cannot work, certainly. With minimal education, you are going to have to start out using strength and endurance to get some things done. If you don't have that, you really have few options. Farm work, like you have in tobacco or any labor-intense crop, is only the career goal of a few people. :lol: I don't want that much of it myself, but I've done a lot of it and the other thing these kids are missing is the good feeling of tired at the end of the day.
