we had some thieves enter and stole a large portion of our corn

I am very sorry for this. Some people are really just lazy and prefer to steal than ask.

The roasted corn makes me want to eat some. That goes great with a home brewed coffee. 😍

Farmers in our area are the ones that are mostly well off. A decent number of them have the most houses, cars and land areas. I bet @ifarmgirl is one of them. I believe she has the experience in farming but most of her daily life must be monitoring the people working in their farm. 😊

That's the point - to make people interested in me. LOL. 😁
Seriously, it has to do with my past experience and views in life. It's kind of a long story so I might make a post about it in the near future. 😊

Thieves are smart noh, they are the first to reap what they didn't sow😂

I believe she has the experience in farming

You bet :) I grew up in a farming town so you can imagine my expertise🤣

but most of her daily life must be monitoring the people working in their farm.

People would be unhappy if you visit them daily, it would look like you don't trust them😁 Once a week would be okay hehe :)

I was right.
I wonder where your farms are located.
I might have been seeing or passing on one of them. 😊

And by the way, I hope you are not one of those owners I heard of that offers 1 dollar a day to their workers. 😁

Haha, I wish 😂 Magdilang anghel ka sana😉

I don't think anyone here offers dollar a day. No one would come and you will be the talk of the town if you do that, lol! The cheapest here in our place is $8 (Php 400) for half a day's work (harvesting) and we feed them breakfast and lunch with snacks too. You also have to pick them up in the morning and drop them home after work😁

I wonder if you also heard that there are groups of laborers from other places that when you hire one, you have to hire the whole group 😂

I've heard it is being offered to non-local workers. And there was this time it was offered to us by a person who talked to when we hitched a ride. This happened years ago though.

The cheapest here in our place is $4 (Php 400) for half a day's work (harvesting) and we feed them breakfast and lunch with snacks too. You also have to pick them up in the morning and drop them home after work

That's already a very competitive pay. It is above the minimum wage. Considering that you also provide them their meals and snacks. I bet you also provide them the chemicals (e.g. alcohols) they need for their after work chemistry session? 😊

I wonder if you also heard that there are groups of laborers from other places that when you hire one, you have to hire the whole group

I first heard this from you. I think this is the reason why I see some trucks with a group of people from the lowlands being transported back when I was staying up in the mountains?

Mali pa pala nasulat ko, $8 dapat yon kasi 400, lol! Even if it was 5 years ago, dollar a day was not acceptable here. Non locals are even more costly kasi 500 ang gusto nila 😂

And yep, you know it well, you have to buy them booze too.

Aah, at least you've seen them :)

If only I am close to where your farms are, I will not hesitate to apply to work during the planting and harvest season. 😊

Haha, I doubt you would :) It's easy to say but it can be tough to work under the sun :)

LOL. The mountain has been my playground since I was a kid with the scorching sun over our head. I may live in the city now but I am built much sturdier than the average mountain man. 😁

😆😆😄...

Corn and coffee, what a great combination 😀.
Farmers here are the poorest, no one regards them even though they put food on our table..
They grow these food with hard labour and local tools only to be bought cheaply by the the rich in society.
Our politicians are the richest, embezzling funds everywhere..

I hope there will be a turnaround for farmers soon.

I just felt that @ifarmgirl could be a farmer judging from her name... But whatever role she plays in the farm is surely a good one..

All we want is to grow healthy food for everyone...

That is very sad. They should be developing irrigations for your farms, creating laws protecting the rights of the farmers and making market to farm roads.
I've heard of this problems in your country and I can only hope the best for the common people.

Cheer up and keep on surviving. 😊

Those are good points we should adopt.

Thanks for the concern, we will sure survive it.
Hive has been helpful too...
