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.

20. Write An Employee Handbook For Your Farm To help employees understand your management style, it can be helpful to describe the farm s organization as a business. Who are the owners? http://www.uvm.edu/vtvegandberry/factsheets/handbook.html

WRITE AN EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK FOR YOUR FARM! Vern Grubinger Vegetable and Berry Specialist University of Vermont Extension It may be a dull task to write an employee handbook, but it is not a thankless one. This document can save you lots of time and aggravation down the road. It can also enhance employee performance by helping them understand exactly what you expect. In addition, the handbook can be a useful tool for orientation every time you hire new help. An employee handbook can be as simple or as complicated as your farm situation calls for. Large operations may want it to contain detailed information about a variety of personnel policies, pay scales, and benefits that probably require some legal advice before your finalize them. Small operations may only need a few pieces of paper that spell out the guts of how your farm works, what you expect from your help, and how they have to behave if they want to keep their job. All new employees need answers to obvious questions like "where should I park?” or "what are my work hours?” and “when do I get paid?” They also need answers to questions they may not ask, like “who do I call if I’m late?” or “what will get me fired?” An employee handbook is one way to help “socialize” new employees to the farm, by explaining key points about your management style, the farm business, and why things are done in particular ways.
