Why Farmer Equipment Training is Important

Agriculture, whether on a small or large scale, is an imperative cog in society’s machine. Farming in South Africa not only provides the nation with produce, it allows for more job opportunities and contributes to foreign exchange via exporting.

Using Farming Equipment

As a farmer and a farm worker, knowing how to operate farming equipment can make the often-labour-intensive work easier, and more efficient, while reaping a higher yield. Here are some of the benefits of knowing how to use farming equipment properly:

• Less chance for injury on the farm – Farming equipment was designed to take back-breaking work away from farm workers. The farm worker operates the machine, while the machine does the heavy lifting and strenuous bending. At the same time, knowing how to use farming equipment will ensure that it isn’t used incorrectly (which can result in injuries)
• Producing better results – Knowing how to use the equipment correctly will lessen the risk of potential human error, meaning less waste and higher productivity and yield. Because of less time spent on focusing on a task, farm workers can use extra time to expand their skills.
• Encouraging knowledge on the farm – By providing the correct training, your employees will feel empowered and more excited to work on tasks using what they have learned so that they can implement it
