New agricultural jobs website launched to connect farms with work-seekers

Posted by Steve Guilbert

With an acute labour shortage in the seasonal farming industry and millions of people either out of work or furloughed, The Land Army was born with the goal of connecting farms and agricultural businesses with suitable candidates quickly.

Co-founded by Hampshire brothers Ben and Guy Habgood and directed by University of Exeter alumni, Jacob Herandi, The Land Army, team  are confident that “offering more clarity, flexibility and choice to both farms and those seeking work, will help rebut the recent headlines and enable farms to connect with hard working people across the UK”.

The business is also setting aside 5% of each job post to help tackle farming issues, and is in talks with a well-known agricultural charity to establish its first charity partner.
