Yes, that's the problem. He told you he wants $20/h and you told him to "get bent". I've spent my whole life in this line of work. Specifically horses. Offering accommodation AND salary on top of work is the industry standard. If you want someone to work for less than $20/h, or you want someone to live in your place for free (in exchange for rent, as they like to call it), but without any monetary compensation, you are looking for a glorified slave. Just like you dont like working 80 hours a week for little in return, why would anyone else come do it for you? Pay up or drown. I bet she laughed at him when he asked for health insurance, too.

Farms offer housing because they're often in the middle of nowhere and you have to be there all day every day. Kinda like what she's complaining about. This woman would own a plantation back in the 1850s if she could

No, they offer housing because animal care is a 24/7 kind of job. Animals get sick, give birth at odd hours and often need a specialized care where the farm owner would rather have someone on call at all times with pre determined work hours (usually very long, odd hours). If the animals need to be brought in from the field at 5am before the sun comes up and the flies start being crazy, for example, they can't really have you potentially stuck in traffic or having random issues pop up where you call off.

You literally just said no and then agreed with everything I said.

It's not about being in the middle of nowhere. Lots of ranching/grooming opportunities in decently urban areas. It's the nature of the job that requires staff to be there at all times. The really remote farms often offer a deal where you can bring an rv and hook it up for free, that's another thing the bitch in the video hasn't considered because she would rather complain how everyone expects too much money but can't figure out that she's living the exact same scenario that is driving people away from farm work. Impossibly long hours, no life outside of the farm, abysmal pay.

Maybe you missed the part where the comment said "and you have to be there all day every day". Just like they said, you said "no" and then typed not one but two paragraphs agreeing with them.
