IN West Virginia, there are no employer cost savings in having an intern over a worker, unless you are 'blessed' with interns who are not receiving compensation on some level. We have all the expenses with interns that we have with local hourly help. Anyone who is not experienced on a farm can be a drain to productivity. I would like to have, but cannot find, professional farm workers. Next to that, I'll take interns. They fulfill my biological drive to teach my sons (and daughters) how to farm. _Allan

Realizing it may vary somewhat from state to state, would someone please
outline the benefits of having interns rather than employees, as it relates
to reporting, insurance, etc. I realize that hopefully interns are more
motivated. I am asking about requirements for unemployment, workman's comp,
paying social security, having an E.I.N. or not (I don't yet), etc.

Thank you.
