Our kids grow up with their noses glued to a phone or computer - not sure it would be reasonable to expect them to be interested in physical labor.https://www.npr.org/2023/01/05/1142...enters-and-plumbers-try-telling-that-to-gen-z

That reality is hitting home for farmer John Boyd Jr.
Boyd, 57, owns a 300-acre farm in Virginia where he grows soybeans, corn and wheat and raises cattle — just as three generations did before him. But now, none of his three children want to take over when he retires.
"Everybody on my farm is over the age of 50," said Boyd, who is the president of the National Black Farmers' Association. "We need some young people with some energy and hustle and innovation."
Odd, NPR spent decades and millions of tax dollars being pretentious leftist fucks while mocking working Americans and the trades in general.....One of those assholes must have needed a tradesman.
