Labor is a critical issue for farmers seeking to scale-up production to supply emerging markets for their products and to meet business and family income goals. But in an environment of diminishing labor, escalating wages and narrow profit margins, finding, managing, training and retaining productive farm crews are proving to be an fluid puzzle with many moving parts.
This three-part, interactive seminar series feature information educators and technical consultants can use in your programs and work with farmer clients, and that researchers can use to inform future inquiry. Each session will have ample time for questions and discussion, providing multiple opportunities to connect and share with other session attendees.
