Equipment & Facilities

· Operate and maintain farm equipment.

· Perform preventative maintenance.

· Diagnose mechanical problems.

· Coordinate repairs and shop organization.

· Communicate priorities with ownership.

Crop Operations

· Assist with planting and harvest.

· Truck grain and manure.

· Operate tillage, planting, and harvesting equipment.

· Manage irrigation and seasonal field activities.

Continuous Improvement

· Help develop better chore systems.

· Improve labor utilization.

· Recommend equipment and facility improvements.

· Take ownership of assigned projects.

Qualifications

· Experience in livestock agriculture.

· Mechanical ability.

· Ability to safely operate modern farm equipment.

· Excellent communication skills.

· Ability to prioritize multiple tasks.

· Strong work ethic and attention to detail.

· Ability to work independently while contributing to a team.

· CDL and welding experience are valuable but not required.

What Success Looks Like

· Coordinate much of the daily labor.

· Help maintain excellent animal care standards.

· Allow ownership to spend more time managing the business rather than directing daily chores.

· Become a trusted decision-maker within the operation.
