Marijuana cultivators are finding new ways to manage labor to meet the challenges caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
This is yet another sector in the cannabis industry to adapt its operations in response to COVID-19, similar to retailers, for example, who have been using drive-thru and curbside pickup to keep customers and employees safe.
In some states, growers are experiencing increased demand for cannabis from retailers and developing staffing solutions to account for the uptick.
Others have avoided furloughing the cultivation crew or reducing hours by shifting work schedules.
