Don’t do it for the rest of your life if you don’t have to! When we get to the French fry plant often times you sit and wait as long as 4 hours at times and possibly longer before it’s your turn to back in and unload. There can be over a dozen trucks in the yard and guys sit around and get talking. One thing I’ve noticed is there’s a lot of guys driving trucks well in their 70’s and many of them are half crippled still on call 7 days a week year round to go at a moments notice to haul potatoes. Most are guys that worked for other farms out of school for fairly low income. They were able to buy a house and raise a family on that income and survive but that’s about it. The Canada Pension isn’t even enough to heat their house in the cold months let alone cover groceries gas electric and other things they need so as long as they’re able they have to work. No time to relax knowing the phones not going to ring no money to travel nothing. The sad part is after 50+ years working for other farms when they just can’t work anymore all they’re going to get is a handshake and a pat on the back. It makes a person realize how important it is to find a way to put money away for retirement if you have any way to do so at all. Owning your own farm and hoping the next generation takes over and makes sure you aren’t out in the cold when you can’t work anymore is one thing but God help the dear souls who are sore never had time to enjoy life and can’t afford to retire at 73 if they wanted to.
