What does 'Non Exempt Deer Farm' mean?

A 'Non Exempt Deer Farm' refers to a deer farming operation that is not exempt from certain state or federal regulations, meaning it must comply with all applicable rules regarding animal health, movement, and record-keeping. These regulations often include disease testing, fencing requirements, and permits for buying, selling, or transporting deer. Non exempt status ensures that the farm is subject to regular inspections and oversight to prevent the spread of diseases, such as chronic wasting disease (CWD), and to promote the health of both farmed and wild deer populations.

What are some common challenges faced by employees working on a non-exempt deer farm, and how can they prepare for them?

Employees on a non-exempt deer farm often face challenges such as physically demanding work, exposure to varying weather conditions, and the need for careful handling of animals to ensure safety for both staff and deer. Being prepared involves wearing appropriate protective clothing, learning proper animal handling techniques, and maintaining awareness of biosecurity measures to prevent disease. Teamwork is essential, as daily tasks like feeding, monitoring herd health, and maintaining enclosures typically require close collaboration with colleagues.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Deer Farm Worker, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Deer Farm Worker, you need knowledge of animal husbandry, basic veterinary care, and physical fitness, usually supported by a high school diploma or equivalent. Familiarity with farm machinery, fencing systems, feeding equipment, and sometimes animal tracking software is beneficial. Strong observation skills, attention to detail, and effective communication help with animal welfare and teamwork. These skills ensure proper care of deer, efficient farm operations, and compliance with safety and animal welfare standards.

About the Organization
Morning Glory Farm, started in 1975 by James and Deborah Athearn, grows about 65 acres of vegetables and small fruits on the island of Martha's Vineyard.
Small successive plantings of a wide variety of crops supply the Farmstand from May through December.
Crops include sweet corn, lettuce, carrots, beets, tomatoes, melons, potatoes, beans, squash, pumpkins, and more. Our herb garden supplies a full assortment of culinary herbs. We also raise four acres of cut flowers, and small plantings of strawberries, grapes, peaches, and beach plums.
We keep beef cows on pasture in Chilmark for which we harvest 45 acres of hay and we also produce eggs, pork and fresh, pasture-raised chickens to sell in the Farmstand. Twenty-three acres of our vegetable fields are farmed using natural practices and only OMRI certified fertilizers and pesticides. We manage the rest of our land with a minimum of pesticides and with attention to the long-term health of the soil.
The farm name grew from the vision of the sun rising over lush, green fields, cows with udders full of milk ambling past bountiful gardens and hedgerows lively with honeybees: true wealth of nature's glory.
Each year we meet a new crew of farmers, bakers, cooks, and Farmstand staff who become part of the farm family. The farm has benefited from a variety of wonderful people who have endowed Morning Glory with their own special contributions.
