Just got back from a trip to pickup some hardware at a local farm supply store. It's a store in a well-known chain of farm supply stores.
I was looking for a particular piece of galvanized hardware. Couldn't find it so I asked a nearby clerk if they had this item in galvanized.
"What's galvanized?" was this girl's reply. I was flabbergasted.
Is it that hard to hire people who are at least a LITTLE KNOWLEDGEABLE about things their customers might ask for? That have at least SOME knowledge of agriculture? Or is it "if you can talk, and you can walk, your hired!"
I've also been in another store in this same chain, and a clerk there didn't know what sprayer drop nozzles were.
There are two of these stores in driving distance of me. Seems like every 3-4 months they have a new manager.
I guess this is what the farming and ag community gets, when all that people care about is how cheap they can buy something. Like my dad always said: You get what you pay for in this world.

I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
