Town–Farm Cooperation Urged During Harvest
Townspeople and farmers are urged to join forces during the harvest season to cover labor gaps. Experienced daytime harvest hands are scarce, so volunteers should work evenings or spare time. Register with Clifford Johnson at the Farmers Co-Operative in Akron to help shocks or other tasks. Farmers with surplus labor should offer help to less fortunate neighbors, and volunteers are paid going wages for services.
