A VIRTUAL job centre has been set up to help farmers and growers fill summer job vacancies.
The idea has been launched by the National Farmers' Union to help farmers cope with the challenge of meeting job needs during peak harvest periods.
Peter Wensak, from the NFU, said: "We are regularly contacted by people looking for seasonal work out of doors. The virtual job centre will allow the NFU in future to connect callers, via the internet, with those looking for casual staff.
The job centre service is available to NFU members only.
Farmers who are interested in getting involved in the new scheme should e mail nfu@nfuonline.com
