Report of Labor Utilization Conference

Extension Service

No 338609, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: This report was prepared for the use of State Extension Services in considering the further development of educational work to improve the utilization of labor. It contains the suggestions of a group of 17 representatives from the States who met for 3 days in Washington, D. C., with a similar group representing various agencies in the U.S.D.A. The conference was exploratory in nature for the purpose of informally discussing the labor and manpower situation and desirable kinds of Extension activities in this field. The report summarizes what might be done concerning (1) labor efficiency on the farm, (2) efficient utilization of seasonal labor, (3) labor efficiency in marketing and distribution.
