A new platform designed to connect farms with labor help has just launched, aiming to bring communities together while creating job opportunities. Ashley Babl, creator of Farm Hand on Demand, explains how the concept works and what it could mean for farmers and rural communities.

“Farm hand on demand is this idea that I've had for, well, pretty much sense I've been involved in ag, which has been my whole life, that we've always fallen short with help on certain paths, whether it's planting, harvesting, working cattle, there was always opportunity where another person or two would have been super helpful. I just kept sitting on this idea that I needed to find a place where we can all come together."

There is no charge or fee for a worker to be a part of it.”

Babl says their goal is to just bring people together,

“The workers to create their profiles, and then employers, they can also create free profiles as well, and then just pay as they go. You can search by location, or you can allow the site to know your location, and then you can search so many miles out, if that's how you want to do it. But we just hope to bring everybody together and kind of solve the workforce issues that we have in ag.”

Once again, that is Farmhand on Demand. Ashley Babl, for more information, go to farmhandondemand.net
