The Agricultural Alliance of New Brunswick has launched a new website designed to tackle one of the industry’s biggest challenges: connecting job seekers with agricultural employers. In this interview, Zach Hargrove, owner of Southridge Maple in Knowlesville and an AANB board member, shares how the Alliance’s Shared Workforce Program helped his own business find and train workers on short notice when a major growth opportunity came up. He also talks about the aging workforce in the sector, why recently retired New Brunswickers are an untapped source of seasonal labour, and how student programs and evolving, tech-driven agriculture careers are reshaping what work in the industry looks like today.
