Ok, Dan. You’ve really got me missing Montana. However, you are highlighting a problem that shouldn’t exist. There is a shortage of young men willing to work. Muckraking would normally be the entry level job for a young guy fresh out of high school. Where are those guys? Don’t get me wrong. I think it’s awesome you are learning valuable skills and getting "farmer strong" at the same time. Your innate curiosity about life is serving you well.
Actually we do have young guys on the crew, usually coming from the temp agency. The two high school boys with us doing summer work are good, hard workers, and nice guys to boot. Still, you're right, everywhere is advertising for workers, so plenty of young people are giving the unwanted jobs a pass.
