Parkland College in Saskatchewan has launched a new program to meet the labour needs of growing farm operations.
Introduction to Farm Hand is a short course to provide the skills and hands-on training to work on a grain farm in Saskatchewan.
The first course module, beginning April 17th, focuses on seeding and the busy spring season.
Parkland College Business Development Manager Connie Brown says farmers can send current or potential employees through the program to develop their skills.
She adds it gives general labourers without a farm background the opportunity to gain the experience needed to work in agriculture.
