ARAC – AGRICULTURAL RECOVERY AND COMPENSATION
26 March 2010
ARAC for CFU calling.
The office has been busy this week and we are happy to report that eight people joined ARAC, this is most encouraging and we hope the trend will continue. We are trying to re-establish contact with all former farmers and we hope that those of you who are in touch with other colleagues and friends who have let their membership lapse will pass on the news that there is an office in CFU specifically dedicated to the interests of those who are off the land.
Central to our mandate is establishing benchmarks for compensation of the items not covered by the Valcon data base. We hope that we will soon develop suitable guidelines for interested farmers. If there are any people out there who would like to be a part of the pilot development of this for the Union data base please contact the ARAC office.
We can report that we were able to assist in the placement of two farmers in jobs in the past week. There is a current opportunity for an experienced farmer in Saudi Arabia, and also an enquiry for a sheep expert in South Africa. If you are looking for someone for a position or are looking for work please let us have the details, maybe we can help.
