Well said Jo, and others. This discussion looks at the very heart of a decades old issue that has often be looked at but never grasped and challenged.
Taking a couple of points from Jo. It is something that we in the UK could start looking at... Students on apprenticeships (though a bit of cash would be good!! ) being trained by professionals who are themselves trained to do that. Good god.. sounds like professionalism and alternative routes!
There you have it... What is your price.. what is your bottom line.. and what at the end of the day is the price of quality, rather than cubic metres of soil moved in x number of days.
Perhaps if cuts happen - then they may be more acceptable if
a) they were time limited and return to the previous level was required before any rise in rates.
b) they were across the board - and indeed... starting at the top. :0
