SE SD
I forgot to mention what trapper John said . 20 plus years ago our SA were making 11 $ per hour and with the exchange rate it was more like $135 an hour back there and they were sending all the $ they could back home for their families mainly to keep their ground from the local black farmers . If you’d hear all the stories I did from my early guys you’d understand why they worked and wanted as many hours as they could get and you have to remember our SA are a minority down in their homeland . Back in those days I did a lot of custom farming and most farms were over an hour and a half away and the SA would tell me about their situations back home and the trip felt like 20 minutes . But like I said the workers aren’t what they used to be but neither are our locals . I have no livestock for awhile now so h2a are cheaper in the long run since they get here in late April and leave in December when we are finishing up . Bonpass can you pull doubles or willing to learn as I might just call you up and you can stay in SA house and use the vehicles I give them and you might enjoy it .
