I had 5 people quit within 3 weeks of getting their 90 day employment bonus. Never called me, just stopped showing up. I usually run about a 20 person crew. This year I had 12. I had 5 show up yesterday. I paid a 1000 dollar premium for each person to work only 3 months plus way overpaying to begin with. I have guys doing 15 dollar an hour jobs but paying them 25.

If I could find someone to buy my company Id retire tomorrow. I may do so anyway, I can always use the 300k worth of equipment I own, even though a lot of it is duplicates, on the farm. Im thinking I could build another pole barn to store it and use it when the other stuff breaks down and then cannibalize the older stuff for parts. Its all mostly paid for anyway,.
