To launch this inaugural Teach-In program (discussion group), we will be discussing necessary equipment and how to come up with a plan for solving our seasonal labor issues.
Equipment
- What are the most useful and necessary pieces of equipment to get started with based on scale?
- What are the priorities for acquiring equipment based on the experiences of the group?
- Tractors, cultivators, wash lines, oh my...
- Sharing equipment possibilities
- Using tarps -- the good, the bad, and the ugly
- Other equipment/tools
- What type of jobs needed?
- Full-time, part-time
- Salary rates
- Where to look?
- Sharing workers among farms to increase hours to full time for the workers while meeting farmer needs
