I don't want to be insulting in any way, but I can tell you two things...
Teenagers today are not the same as they were when you were a teenager, and farms cannot rely on teenagers to do the work.

Funny you mention that . In my parents neighborhood there are several families with teenagers but guess who I see cutting the grass in the neighborhoods. Lawn Care Services and the employees seem to be of Hispanic descent. I am 20 years old and I have to say that alot of the kids I grew up would never be caught dead working in a Mcdonalds, it would ruin their image I guess. The ideal job for those teens is working at the mall preferabbly in a store and not the food counter. When I think about it the mall eatery employees tend to be asian and hispanic.
My guess is that's because Mommy and Daddy are not the same as they were a long time ago. Mommy and Daddy (not all, but some) just want to give Junior all the things they could never have themselves, or all the things money can buy. And spoil them in the process. Parents...
