Project Overview
Farm owners from nine western NY counties face a changing, challenging human resources risk management environment. Greater uncertainty as to whether labor will be available in sufficient quantity, and quality such that owners will be able to realize desired results exists. This project sought to enhance participants’ capacities to manage human resources risk through better people management and improved problem solving. Four workshops, and small study groups supported by project members provided participants with opportunities to: improve understanding of human resources risk and its management; learn and apply people management and problem solving skills; and learn about evaluating changes to their farm businesses. Forty one individuals participated in one or more project activities allowing them to identify labor risks, and reasons underlying their presence. Thirty one participants representing 23 farm businesses identified possible solutions from the set of managing people, production practice and, or capital for labor possibilities.
