LAUGHING STOCK FARM

What a year! You know, 2020 was a rough year, but back in 2020 you could just say, hey, next year will be better. Who knew 2021 would be even worse? Not much went really well on the farm last year. Worst of all, trying to hire people for the farm last year was nuts. I ended up calling the interview "the mirror test" - if you can steam up a mirror you're hired. Of course, this meant someone had to show up for a scheduled interview, and then show up for the first day of work. Much harder than you might think. I sent out 23 W-2s in January for what ended up being a 5 person crew... And, I especially want to thank my 2021 crew who stayed with me for their full commitment. This was one of the best crews I've ever had. A marine engineer, genuinely skilled trades people, a paralegal, students of neuroscience, pre-med, and some undecided. Absolutely amazing young people, all! I will miss you and wish you the best as you move on to do great things. If ever there was a small group of young..
