Delegating duties is the best way to deal with this problem. Delegation needs to take place at various levels in the farm operation, depending on the nature and complexity of tasks. Tasks must be assigned to the right people to keep labor costs down and make the best use of available skills. It's important to give direction but still allow workers to make decisions based on the accomplishment of farm goals. If you have only a few employees, or none at all, then delegation takes the form of picking those tasks for you to do that have the greatest payoff.
Delegation takes place along lines of authority.
No employee can have more than one boss. Authority must be equal to responsibility. The first principle relates to issues of communication and accountability. The second principle, that authority must be equal to responsibility, is often overlooked. When an employee is assigned to do something, he or she must be able to do what is reasonable to see it gets done.
