• In small farms, the owner farmer is the manager and he may engage few hired casual labour at times of need for doing some cultivation operations. He may delegate some work and responsibility to family members engaged in the farming. Large farmers may engage permanent labour to assist them in organizing and monitoring the operations. Agricultural operations must be carried out in a timely manner so as to reap optimum results. There will be great demand for labour during land preparation, sowing / transplanting, weeding and harvest, especially in mono-cropping areas. In India the large farms are also mostly managed in an informal way and professional formal management system does not exist.
