bulls was s888 11 uhil the top five averaged 2375 00 by henry stanley agricultural representative how much does farm labor earn was the subject under dis cussion at the university- pf guelph in one of the talks given to a gathering of farmers recent ly g i trant of the department of agricultural economics oa c reported that in 1964 the average earnings per hours of labor work ed on the average dairy farm was 65 cents this survey included all dairj farmers submitting their ac count books to the college for an alysis the average labor earnings on the general farm were 95 cents per hour and on a cash crop farm were 1 62 per ho the figures quoted tor labor earnings per hour are not only for the farm owner and bperator but foi the hired helpers as well in most cases the dairy farm in particular labor is not earritng nearly as much as it is paid in other words the farmer is paying the hired man more than the hir ed man is actually earning where does the etra money come from it comes from the farmers own labor the farmer is in many cases working to support his hir ed man one farmer after hearing this leport suggested that it he shown to the people who set the mini mum wages here in ontario this comment met with approval from hundreds of other farmers attend ing invite you to join the immediate reaction is of course if the worker is not earn ing his present salary lets pay him less this wont solve am thing in the long run however the labourer can probably get a job earning at least as much as he now earns in anothei industry and probably the work wont be so demanding the result the farmer has no help at all the other alternative then is for the farmer to see that his laborers do earn at least what they are paid and preferably more this can be done in many ways such as better organization and manage ment of labor better working con ditions more labor saving devices and a host of other ways why then do farmers have such a problem with trying jo earn a decent wage for themsel ves and their emplojees the main reason probably is that most farmers have never been trained in this field of work they are experts in growing crops but in many cases are far from being expert in some other fields such as labor management farmers must not spend their time crying their mistreatment to everyone looking for sympathy very few have just cause for this kind of attitude instead of this a progressive farmer will devote his eneigy to bettering his labor arrangements to become more ef ficient and get the most out of every man hour worked on the farm the faimer will never in crease his labor earning however as long as he is satisfiedso work for vnat he now gets tor farmers who do not want to improve their situation and make better use ol their labor ihcic is lots ol oppoi limits to do this a jood sot of recoids to show what the present situation is would be the fust step from mure they can look lor was to improve help is icadilv aailable to pei- sons who ask the ontario de partment ol tood and agriculture extension offices located in each county in the province provide persons who are capable and will ing to show farmeis vas of im proving their labor earnings the responsibility ot initialing such improvements however still does and always will rest with the indi vidual farm operatoi halton junior farmers give annual report years
