Some will, some wont. I’ve been around plenty of kids that grew up on a farm, supposedly “tough” kids, but they didn’t have either the mental toughness or the physical endurance for the job or the lifestyle.
Dutch,
"Farm Kid" don't mean crap anymore.
They were hiring one at my job a few years ago, and everyone was gushing how good a worker he would be. I was skeptical.
Within weeks, I was proven right.
Last year was a replay.
Guy quit in the middle of his second shift!
His job was as an operator helper. About every 2 1/2 hours they had to get up and work or 45 minutes to an hour. Depending on how hard the worked. Much of that time is spent watching a machine run. When not doing that, he had no responsibilities. He said, "This is too fast paced for me". A 40 year old, never worked off the farm.
Farming ain't how it used to be.
More important, farm parents aren't how they used to be.
My dad never went to school for a whole year. He missed a lot of the Fall due to
harvest, he was out in the spring, planting.
Farm kids these days are into sports,
you have no idea who they are. Can't spot them.
Wasn't like that 40 years ago. They usually stood out.
Country, is a thing now.
Like urban wannabes.
See the kids in flannel and schidmit kickers? They live in a trailer park or
development.
