The Farmer Network has created The Farm Labour Emergency Support Scheme (FLESS). This is designed to help farm businesses in need of emergency farm labour during the coronavirus pandemic. The scheme seeks to help farmers in Cumbria and The Yorkshire Dales locate and secure the services of emergency farm workers to undertake essential keyworker tasks. We are now creating a register of potential emergency farm workers.
