The Aberdeen-Angus Cattle Society is organising a team of ‘angels' and a match making service to support livestock farmers with the expected labour challenges ahead.
With potential shortfalls in the agricultural labour force imminent, The Aberdeen Angus Cattle Society has released a call to arms for skilled workers.
Mr Turner explains: "With substantial labour gaps expected over the summer months, we are setting up a national network and resource of those most skilled and invested in livestock industry."
This match making service will be available for those whose livelihood could be affected in the foreseeable future.
Mr Turner says: "We are looking for those who would be keen and willing to come forward and take over some day-to-day work if a farm is in need of an experienced pair of hands, should the resident workforce be out of action due to the effects of Covid-19."
Anyone interested in becoming an Aberdeen-Angus ‘angel', or farmers who are looking for assistance should contact the society on [email protected].
