   Welcome. Management of human resources in production agriculture is a complex area of practical activity, public policy, inquiry, and professional development that draws from and contributes to better known fields. This site is an information center on farm employment, management, and policy issues of concern to agricultural employers, managers and supervisors, business and personal service providers, grower and worker association leaders, educators, students, researchers, and public agency staff. Please use the site guide or search field in the left-side frame to find a wealth of material and structured links to educational articles, legal and government references, data bases, research findings, news, advice, and other resources.

The site is maintained as a service of Cooperative Extension at the Department of Agriculture and Resource Economics, UC Berkeley.  We hope that you will find it worth visiting regularly and using as a gateway to whatever you need to know in this subject area.  Please tell us of any suggestions you have for additional content or links, and of any broken links you run across here.
