PAY WELL TO GET '
CAPABLE HELP*
The key to keeping capable
farm helpers these days is to
pay them weir and consider
them part of your production
team
That is the newer thinking
among large scale successful
farm and ranch operators re
ported at a recent Top Farmers
of America symposium in Chi
cago
One successful, midwest
farmer, speaking at the sym
posium, said he made his top
employee an assistant manager
and gives him an annual salary
and a chance to share in the
profits.
The group agreed that it is
good business to pay well for
well trained men and to provide
them with good equipment to
do their work
Most of us could turn over a
new leaf much easier, if we
could tear out a few old pages,
