No 339 - Thursday's Club Notes

The “Club Notes” for Thursday, the 17th of October, 2024.

Go-get-em attitude

I saw this ad late yesterday: "HAY CARTERS AVAILABLE - 3 x fit young reliable 18-year-old lads all with divers licences, we have our own 4 wheel drive Ute and Trailer. Currently available weekends. After the 10th of Nov we will be available 7 days a week throughout the school holiday. Fleurieu and Adelaide Hills area of SA. $2 a bale from the paddock and neatly stacked in shed. Contact…..". See the full ad in the Hay section below. How good is that? A go-get-em attitude is everything and this reeks of it. Let's not bag out others in this situation because they might be doing something else on their school holidays, but let's praise and celebrate the initiative of these lads in having a crack. If this is what they are like at 18, they are going places, and Australian Ag needs more of these types of kids. This sort of stuff is what our Ag industry was built on, and if this doesn't set a fire going in your belly, I don't know what will. Well done, lads; I am certain you will get plenty of work. Is there something that has given you inspiration lately?  Reply to [email protected]
