One of the greatest challenges facing farmers is the management of a labor force. Effective management of hired labor can have a profound effect on the overall profitability of a farming operation.
University of Minnesota Extension will offer three Labor Management Programs. The programs are titled, “Employment Skills for Today: Planning for Success.” Farm owners and managers who oversee family and non-family labor should consider attending. There is no cost for these programs; however, to plan for program materials as well as noon meal arrangements, pre-registration is required. The programs will be held at the following times and locations:
Feb. 4, 2011 Minnesota West Community & Technical College
Room # 127
1314 N. Hiawatha Ave.

Employment Skills for Today: Planning for Success will address the following labor management topics: hiring process, legal issues, compensation and communication.
All three programs will begin at 10 a.m. and adjourn by 3 p.m. A complementary noon lunch will be provided at each location. To pre-register, please email Mary Jo Fox at foxxx055@umn.edu or call (507) 337-2800. Please register at one week ahead of your respective meeting.
