DON'T GET STUCK ONFARM THIS SPRING: Tapping into the potential workforce in your local community could be a game changer for dairy farmers this spring and a new online platform has made it easier to connect with people.

A new online platform called Ag Assist has been created to help dairy farmers connect with available workers in their local community. This platform allows farmers to find skilled individuals who can provide relief during busy times, such as calving, or assist with various tasks on the farm or around the house. Ag Assist aims to provide flexibility and support to farmers, allowing them to structure their work and personal lives in a way that suits them. The platform also offers a solution for unexpected events, such as injuries or illnesses, by providing access to additional staff when needed. [Extracted from the article]
