Orono Weekly Times, Wednesday, July 15, 1987-5 Â versatile Agri-Crew Yvonne Youngberg, Richard Maki and Penny Beckett, students working for the Agri-crew pro gram, brush up their painting skills on a farm near Hampton. Pleased with Agri-Crew program and its help If a high school student was asked asked to describe his dream of the ideal summer job, it would not be hard to imagine the answer; an outside job, weekends off, working with friends and a variety of duties. Dreams do not always come true but this dream has for several students around the region as they take part in the Ontario Government's Government's Agri-Crew Program for nine weeks this "Summer. The students are sent to area farms in teams of four and stay up to five days at one farm, helping out according to the farmer's needs. For the Region of Durham East Yvonne Youngberg, Penny Beckett, Richard Maki and Todd Yallow make up a hard working crew that has gone from caring for minks to Christmas tree pruning without a blink of an eye! "Well it's sure been an experience, experience, I've never been on a farm before and now I'm, doing everything from shovelling six tons of.» sheep manure",to painting bSrns," said foreperson Yvonne Youngberg. One would imagjpe these students plan to pursue a career in the agricultural industry. - Yet this does not seem to be the case. Instead each of these farmhands has quite a different plan for the future, whether as a police officer, a teacher, a lawyer or country singer as Richard wants. Yet Yvonne like her co-workers is happy with the job and the variety, "When I signed up for this job I had no idea what to expect, but I'm learning a lot about the work involved involved in running a farm. Everytime we change locations we learn and do something new." • As for the farmers, the students are just what they need for the heavy summer season. Last week the crew was working at the Rowsell's Farm in Hampton, for two days of painting, mending fences and weeding. . "We love having the students come. We have had an Agri-Crew for the last four summers." said . Mrs. Rowsell, as she was just on hèr way put with ice cream for the crew. "They are usually helpful, nice young people arid good workers. It is wonderful for us because these kids' can do the little jobs that nobody has time for and also give my husband a hand with the bigger jobs," she said. The farmer pays the government $90 a day to hire the crew and the government makes up the difference difference and pays minimum wage to the students. Although the worl^ is often hard ■ arid the day a long one, these four students are certainly happy with their summer job and may even be back for another summer.
