If this virus thing ever goes away you might want to contact the FFA chapter in your school and teach the next generation how to hay.

You need to share some of the knowledge that you have acquired over the years. Might be able to have the students come to you and do the work for you. This would be under your supervision and allow you to keep your skin in the game without the hard work. Some body needs to teach these knuckle-heads how to do something besides stare at a computer.

If they are not taught a work ethic before high school, it's too late to hope they will ever do physicdal work, much less want to do physical work!

Exactly and why I quit running small squares 5 years ago. No help and if I found any, they wanted 15 bucks an hour and 15 minutes of labor and they were done. Gonna sell off all the square bale equipment. Just collecting dust in the barn.

Oddly enough, yesterday I was talking to a self employed farmer, and he was bragging that he used the business strategy of; "work long hours until you drop, get some dinner, get some sleep and do it again tomorrow, and if you don't make enough money, skip the dinner, then skip the sleep."
