Managing Employee Workloads

Southwest New York Dairy, Livestock and Field Crops Program
There are many hands at work on the farm, and oftentimes it can feel like there just aren't enough around! Balancing the constant demands of farming with well-balanced employee workloads can be challenging, especially in light of Farm Labor Law requirements. Cornell Pro-Dairy has a helpful tool that is useful for scheduling the activities of individuals to help avoid underemployment and employee burnout. This is available free of charge and can be customized to fit your farm's tracking and evaluation needs. For more information, contact Katelyn Walley-Stoll, Farm Business Management Specialist.
