MANY AG EMPLOYERS have found written personnel policies helpful to guide decisions and clarify what workers and managers can expect of one another. Policies can save administrative time, reduce uncertainty for employees, promote consistency of management action across supervisors and points in time, and help reduce the incidence of decisions that violate a public law or a private sense of fairness.

MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT is often one of the largest expense categories for a farm or ranch operation. Many producers do not know their machinery and equipment cost for a given activity. Some expenses, such as fuel, repair, and other general costs are fairly easy to quantify; calculating individual expenses for a given machine and field activity is more difficult.

Ag Help Wanted updates are available for download at: AgHelpWanted.org/updates.


MANY farmers, ranchers and other agricultural producers often hire youth to perform labor or services in return for wages or other remuneration. The federal child labor provisions, authorized by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) of 1938, also known as the child labor laws, were enacted to ensure that when young people work, the work is safe and does not jeopardize their health, well-being, nor educational opportunities. The FLSA establishes minimum ages for covered employment in agriculture, unless a specific exemption applies.
