This paper clarifies the significance of securing dairy helpers by focusing on the daily living behavior of dairy farmers using dairy helpers. We conducted a hearing survey on eleven dairy helper members in the Tankou area of Iwate prefecture. The results showed that securing a dairy helper contributes to maintaining dairy farming management, ensuring a steady labor force, creating indirect working hours, providing a time adjustment function, expanding and deepening personal contact, and providing for self-development. In particular, the time adjustment function enables collaboration with various farmers, so it is suggested that it supports the development of diverse patterns of agricultural management.
