Qualities workers revive farm, reduce stress
Jim, a dairy farm owner in northern New England was growing increasingly frustrated. The owner of a 200-cow farm, his dairy’s milk production, somatic cell count and butterfat content were not where he wanted them.
But he had little time take the management steps he needed to improve those numbers because he was too tied up with just getting his cows milked, fed and bedded … and with finding reliable workers for his rural farm – an increasing strain on his days.
After a conversation with a fellow dairy farmer and Agri-Placement Services client, Jim called APS. Two weeks later, APS respresentative Peter Conlon arrived with Martin and Adrian, and change began on Jim’s farm.
Martin and Adrian had no experience on a dairy farm and spoke next to no English, challenges Jim thought would pose major obstacles. APS on-farm training and availability by phone for follow-up translation in those initial days helped, but the biggest benefit was the selection by APS of two men with a strong work ethic and desire to learn. During a follow-up visit less than two weeks later, Jim reported that his cows had never been milked better, his parlor and milk room had never looked cleaner, and never had he employed such reliable and motivated workers. They showed up on time every shift ready to do the best job they could, Jim said. And they were eager to learn whatever he showed them.
