Once again we’re weighing the decision on using interns and/or employees for the 2017 season. I’m having a hard time figuring out whether it “pencils out” or not, because of all the variables. On a philosophical facet, I really like the idea of training a new generation of interns, such that the training is their “pay”. But I hate a lot of the practical realities of that arrangement – totally green people coming onto the property and needing to be held by the hand for at least the first month or so. Then just as they become valuable, they leave. Employees present other pro’s/con’s, namely the better I pay them, the better the quality of personnel I can attract and keep. Yet meeting payroll becomes a bigger obligations and challenge. Frogchorusfarm.com Snohomish, WA |
