Afternoon All
I'm thinking about using an agency for staffing. Im sick of being let down. Can anyone recommend any agencies and whats your experiences? Can anyone say how much you roughly pay? Thank you
Speak to LKL, farm solutions etc. they'll tell you in detail what their costs are.Sorry Dairy Farm.
Few seem to want to work.
They get given a house and get paid to sit at home watching sky TV nowadays.
A bit of hunger wouldn't go amiss
I agree. Let's start with farming subsidies, see how that lot get on without their dole money, then carry on down the list.
Fantastic idea, don't forget to explain to the public why the cost of food has doubledI agree. Let's start with farming subsidies, see how that lot get on without their dole money, then carry on down the list.

Well let me explainFor the price of food to double, supply would have to be halved.
Supply is going to drop 50% if subsidies were abolished?
That is nonsense.
The old cheap food myth.Fantastic idea, don't forget to explain to the public why the cost of food has doubled
And where was all this cheap food during the war and rationing ?The old cheap food myth.
Plenty of cheap food from all over the world nobody will need or be willing to pay anymore.

What sort of staff? Full time herdsman, entry level, relief milker?
How do these agencies work? do they just recruit, or send someone to you at say 15 quid an hour but pay them minimum wage, or?.....
Both!
There seems to me quite a few companies using agency staff here now, especially for entry level positions or temp work spud diggers, onion graders etc. The agency takes a lot of compliance stuff on and charges a lot per person for it. Sounds good but increasingly companies wont direct hire, so staff have to go through the agency. As a result I think a lot of people look at it as, I'm not doing the work for minimum wage while someone 'hiring me out' makes a fortune.

There is that, but I've worked on few different farms and not all bosses have been the same, some Id go help at a drop of a hat, made really good friends, some like to talk big/act big bit can't pay a small bill of a workers wages!! Nothing worse than having to chase money after already doing the work, I'd rather take a little less of the pie knowing I'm always going to have it than all of it and not knowing when I'm having it
