Farming season upon and there is lots to do before farmers can reap the rewards of their harvest. Undeniably, farming is a busy job for the most part of the year but never more so than in spring. From calving and lambing to preparing and sowing fields or general maintenance, there is always something needing done.
Food and Flower Farmers
In Spring, farmers start preparing fields for planting and field workers arrive on-site to pick blooming daffodils, daphnes and forsythias. Scotloo/Scotbox provide the right site solutions so arable and soft fruit and flower farmers have everything they need to take care of their employees. Understandably, when relying on seasonal field based staff, food hygiene is of paramount importance. Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) guidance recommends that employees maintain hand hygiene within the fields. This ensures that foodborne pathogens are not transferred from hand to produce.
Looking after Livestock
Health and hygiene is a top priority to avoid the spread of disease and infection to livestock. As a result, all equipment and calving and lambing facilities need to be kept clean and in good working order. With bodily fluids everywhere, understandably, it is essential to get into a routine of cleaning hands when entering and leaving the birthing sheds to minimise the risk of any infections and diseases.
