From the Idaho State Department of Agriculture:

 

“With harvest season right around the corner, now is the time to get ready for training harvest crews to stay safe during these challenging times.  The state has a few links we want to share with you now so you will have a chance to look it over and implement this with your employees.
The link below is a document provided by the Department of Health and Welfare specifically for AG Workers staying healthy regarding COVID-19.

Also, this link will take you to a site where you will be able to order masks, gloves and sanitizer.  It also has a section where you could ask for financial assistance.

The Idaho State Department of Agriculture is very interested in answering any questions or concerns you may have.  If you send them to us, we will see what we can do to receive guidance on safe practices for you to implement.

We will continue to send more information as we get it.

Thanks everyone and stay safe.”
