Workers' cost to hire homemaker cited at over $17000 yearly
The American Council of Life Insurance estimates hiring outside help for cooking cleaning and other homemaker tasks would exceed 17000 dollars annually. The Hammond Chamber of Commerce Agri-Business Committee approved moving forward with a plan to form a farmers market citing adequate potential customers and pledged to seek member support at the July 27 meeting. Dr. Gerald Giesler LSU Extension suggested lessons from Morehouse Parish while Delos Jones said local growers can supply enough produce to meet demand and argued for a funded start with grants or a Farmer's Home Administration loan potential. The Bastrop model was cited as a successful example increasing farmer income, with initial tent operations transitioning to a permanent site.
