November 2018 — The People Issue

By Bill Goloski — Posted October 31, 2018

Digger magazine coverNovember 2018 — The People Issue

In Oregon, nurseries and their people ship close to $1 billion worth of ornamental nursery and greenhouse plants per year. That’s why you will seldom find a nursery owner or manager who does not appreciate the critical role of employees at every level.

In this issue:

  • Introduction: People. That’s what it’s about
    How growers are finding — and retaining — the leaders and workers they need for business success.
  • Part one: LEADERSHIP: The leadership farm team
  • Part two: LABOR: Working wonders
  • Part three: BENEFITS: The essentials of retention

Columns:

  • Support is critical: President’s Message by Mike Hiller
  • The Pacheco brothers: Directors Desk by Jeff Stone
Growing Knowledge, an ongoing series provided by Oregon State University in collaboration with the USDA and in partnership with OAN.
  • The ‘tangled root ball’: Family-owned businesses must balance work and family roles.
