@rhofford To give up land, I would say the young farmer needs to prove him or herself first. No different than starting any job anywhere else. Can’t get to the top if you don’t have a strong work ethic and desire to learn.
@Bayleewilson With a family…hands down raising livestock. A lot more jobs can be accomplished “together” than farming row crops. It’s a DAILY task that makes everyone accountable for their actions. However, you are tied down more.
@jenhartmann Resume is just a piece of paper. I ask for their classroom attendance record (if possible). My theory….if you didn’t show up to class, you probably won’t show up to work either.
