    How much steak and lobster or prime rib can you eat in a day? Food better be exceptional because the wages suck.

      Won't get quality workers for those wages when certain farmers in Alberta are paying $60 per hour.

        It must be some kind of joke I'm thinking. Or the guy is so high on himself that he actually believes its an honour to be paid at all for the work. Lot of the BTO's I know kind of get that attitude after a while.

          Must be European or something, North Americans don't measure their farms in hectares!

              How could they possibly support a drug habit on those wages?

                  Should've worded it a little different. $3000/month sounds better than $100/day. Now that I think of it, I was totally ripped off working for -$2100/month on a custom combining crew back in 02-03. $70 a day, WHOO hoo.

                    The outfit is Mardell Farms Ltd from the Snowden Sk. area. The add is mainly for foriegn workers . They do the same for seeding and harvest. If you go to youtube and search it, it will show their setup, camp for workers etc. just search mardell farms.
