In any successful farm business effective communication is essential. With farms increasing in scale and a greater requirement for farm staff it is vital that farm personnel understand clearly the tasks that need to be performed at any given time. A whiteboard is an excellent and extremely effective communication tool.
The farm map is permanently printed on a wipeable surface on which the farm manager, using a whiteboard marker, can write instructions, notes or reminders. A series of tables can also be created to suit a client’s requirements. The Magnetic Whiteboard has an excellent finish and allows the client to use magnets as indicators on the map and also attach notes etc. to the board.
Farm Map
On this white board in addition to the map there is a table where one can list jobs that need to be carried out in the paddocks. Further examples can be seen below.
