The chairman called the bishop to ask if the committee could meet with him. The bishop agreed to meet. At the meeting, the bishop listened as we presented our concerns. Many in agricultural employers encounter the same problems as our personnel committee. An employee using our system knew one of the potential employers.
Employers also tell of the great diversity in the agricultural industry's work force.
There are thousands of employees looking for different types ofjobs. For some, pay is all that matters while others are more concerned with the work setting or the environment in which they will be living. Some employers may even have geographically-related requirements. In parts of cattle country, sever cold weather in remote places must be accepted as part of the job without complaining while in other parts of the country, it may be just the opposite. Size of operations and terrain may also create unique employment requirements.
