... given them a job, a place to stay and food until they can find something else. Maybe you went a step further and tried to help someone who wasn't just down on their luck but someone who had made some really poor choices and could even be struggling with addictions or other issues.
Charity is a good thing, and nobody can be faulted for offering it. But don't let it drag down your business. Bringing someone in who is not qualified, but "needs a leg up" is a recipe for disaster. Add drugs and other issues only makes it worse. What of that person falls off the wagon and runs over a family with your semi? Your farm will be gone, and you BOTH will be looking for charity.
Ever use your farm to help people who are in a really rough spot?
