Farm and Ranch Personnel Management James M. McGrann, Fred DeLano and Dean McCorkle * People human capital are an important resource in making a farm or ranch business more competitive in today's business environment. With participatory management there are opportunities to realize the potential of human capital. This publication summarizes ideas about modern personnel management that illustrate ways to attain a farm's or ranch's business goals through its people. Management Styles A change in management style requires a major change in philosophy. New skills must be developed or a change in the people at the top of the organization may be required. Communication and performance evaluation systems must be developed to achieve a change in personnel management philosophy. Management by objectives and rewarding performance is much more achievable if everyone participates in defining goals and objectives and being accountable for both their own and collective efforts. All efforts toward participatory personnel management begin with all employees knowing their job responsibilities, the goals and objectives of the business, and how to work as a team. Changing Management Style Production agriculture has been and is still dominated by the command and control management style. Many employees find this style convenient. If things go wrong "it's the manager's fault." They would rather not be accountable for their actions. On the other hand, as the ranch manager's responsibilities broaden, employees must be expected to do their own thinking. It does not make sense for managers to try to be everywhere and to make all decisions. The leadership role is more important. Communication, participation, and performance analysis must replace the command and control style. Most people want to make a difference and performance needs to be quantified and measured when it happens.

3. Animal Science-Dairy Science Farm Mgmt Repeated failure of any employee to follow the ISU Dairy farm management plan is unacceptable. http://www.ans.iastate.edu/dairy/mgmt.html

Dairy Home Farm Research Curriculum ... Staff Dairy Farm Management Plan The dairy farm management plan provides a framework for fulfilling our mission. Although the management protocols are quite specific, this plan is not intended to supercede management decisions or changes deemed appropriate by the farm manager. It does, however, provide an effective tool for communicating these decisions and a useful guide for animal caretakers and other farm workers for carrying out their duties. It also provides a written history of past management plans, rations, etc., that could serve as useful tools for future generations of farm managers. In addition, this guide helps faculty create research protocols that coordinate with existing farm management schemes and project labor needs for those protocols that deviate from current management protocols. Change in this plan may be proposed by any member of the dairy faculty or staff. Changes should be submitted for consideration on the appropriate form to Dr. Lee Kilmer. All suggestions are discussed by the faculty advisory committee and farm management, and changes are incorporated if a majority of the committee is in favor. Responses to these suggestions are returned within 2 weeks. Prior to any change being incorporated into the management plan, the suggested change is forwarded via electronic mail to all dairy staff for comments. Any potential concerns or conflicts should be noted at this time. One week is allowed for response.

Company Profile Agricultural Services News and Publications Farm and Ranch Management ... Site Map Company History AN IDEA TAKES ROOT The year was 1929 - - the year the stock market crashed and precipitated an era of meager profits for agriculture and a generally precarious existence for many. In a year when most are trying simply to hold on to what they had achieved, a forward thinking business man saw the potential in a new idea. With the help of Bruce Russell, a Former County Agent with a background in farming, the young C.J. Claassen turned his idea into reality late that year. In November of 1929, Claassen implemented the system of farm management - - accomplished efficiently and profitably - - for non-resident landowners, and he offered that system through a firm he named Farmers National Company. The depression and financial turbulence of the 1930's brought modest profits for Farmers National Company, but the company persevered and persisted, bearing out the contention that non-resident ownership of farmland could be profitable. By 1939, the young company was already managing 1,000 farms for non-resident landowners. Today, that principle is still proving sound. Farmers National Company is the largest, fastest growing and most successful farm management company in the United States, managing 3,600 farms, ranches and specialty operations across the country.

"Traditional farmers have been oriented to production management, financial management, and marketing management, and to a much lesser degree to human resource and people management," says Bernie Erven, ageconomist, Ohio State University. "One of the characteristics of traditional farming is that you don't have to deal with customers. You deal with crops, animals, and machinery, and so employees become an extension of the tractor or the animal," he says.

Farm Management Newsletter Quarterly Publication of Ohio State University Extension Summer 2002 By David Miller, District Specialist, Farm Management Farm Labor Rules During the busy spring and summer, many farmers hire additional labor. This article provides an overview of the major employment rules for agricultural labor. It does not cover all the details. Federal Minimum Wage The minimum wage is currently $5.15 per hour. Agricultural employers who employ more than 500 man-days of labor in any calendar quarter of the preceding calendar year must pay at least the minimum wage. Agricultural employers using less than the 500 man-days of labor are exempt from the minimum wage provisions. A "man-day" is any day during which an employee does agricultural labor for at least one hour. Five hundred man-days is about equivalent to seven employees working fulltime in a calendar quarter. The employer's immediate family who are employees are not included in the 500 man-day test unless the employer is a farm corporation. Workers' Compensation Ohio law requires EVERY employer, including agricultural employers, to carry workers' compensation. A trade or business must cover all employees regardless of how much they earn.

18. Performance Appraisal Of Farm Employees, HRM-4-97 One major tool of good labor management is performance performance evaluation or appraisalof farm employees is producer decides how well the employee is doing http://ohioline.osu.edu/hrm-fact/0004.html

Ohio State University Fact Sheet Agricultural Economics 2120 Fyffe Road, Columbus, OH 43201-1066 Performance Appraisal of Farm Employees HRM-4-97 Kenneth D. Simeral Management of labor is one of the least understood management responsibilities in modern-day agriculture. More and more producers hire labor either part-time, full-time or both. Many find it difficult to recruit and hire good labor, and even more difficult to train and retain a productive labor force. Many producers do not view themselves as employers, especially if the labor force consists of family members. Any labor, even if unpaid, means that the producer is the employer and must be able to manage the labor force as employees. One major tool of good labor management is performance evaluation. However, performance evaluation or appraisal of farm employees is not practiced with any regularity, and many times not even attempted. Performance appraisal in its simplest form is the process in which the producer decides how well the employee is doing in relation to the producer's expectations and the employee's expectations. This goes on whether there is a formal process or not and whether the employee is informed as to how he/she is doing. The producer should formalize the process and use it as a means of improving the performance of the employee. The process also helps the employer and employee address the employee's satisfaction with the job. A good performance appraisal system can be created by: Developing a written job description for each employee. Be sure that the employee understands it, and that the job description is kept current.
