Pork isn’t eaten on New Year’s Day only because it’s delicious—it is also thought to be good luck.

The first reason for this goes back to the pig itself: In order to find food, a pig roots going forward, according to Linda Pelaccio, a culinary historian and host of “A Taste of the Past” podcast. “It’s good to always go forward into the next year—you don’t want to go backward,” she tells Reader’s Digest. “For instance, we would not eat lobster for luck in the new year because lobsters walk backward.” Similarly, we’d skip the chicken because they scratch the ground going backward.

In addition, Pelaccio says that pork is considered good luck because it is so rich in fat, and the fat signifies prosperity. Some people eat pork on the first day of the year in the hopes it will bring a lucky and prosperous year.

Websites that offer this option do not usually provide a screening service, so the producer must review all the applications, not just those that meet the job specifications.

This is not the ideal situation for hiring employees, however it does usually generate interest and a flow of people to your farm. Your chances of finding a good, qualified applicant are increased by the number of people applying for the position.

Your identity and reputation are key pieces to consider when recruiting potential employees.

Before you begin creating your recruiting process and strategy, it’s important that you know: how people view your farm, how they distinguish you from other farms, and – most importantly – if they would choose employment opportunities at your farm.

By creating an identity, you are building awareness of your farm. It helps people understand what your farm is about and sends a subtle emotional message to employees, suppliers and others. A strong, positive identity helps you recruit and keep employees

It can take several weeks to months for new employees to reach their full potential on your farm.

The change in work environment, understanding manager expectations, and building rapport with a new team of co-workers can limit productivity as new team members navigate their job. A thorough onboarding plan can reduce this lag in productivity by introducing employees to the ways to be successful early on.

Those keys to success include understanding who to go to with questions, understanding key processes and procedures, and getting to know your expectations for employee performance.
