The key stakeholders on this farm are the owner/founder, the farm manager, and the workers beneath him. The owner has the biggest stake with his financial investment, and next would be the farm manager. The farm manager has to oversee all the workers and make sure everything is flowing smoothly. Finally, the individual workers have a larger than normal stake as their outcome depends on their work input. My job targets mostly the outcome for the farm manager, making sure I get what I need to get done daily. This eventually rolls up to the owner with the outcome of the farm, but specifically targets the farm manager.
I think the easiest way to communicate and talk with the stakeholders would be through text/email. They will come out and talk in the fields/barns, but the most effective way with their busy schedule is to text or email them. I would say that my understanding of these stakeholders has changed since I've started with the more I have learned about what kind of skin in the game they have. Some guys have a lot of money invested. Some guys have lots of time and career invested. Others really just have the love of the game. I have changed my perception of the stakeholders through the different personal investments they make.
