Our Dairy Farm Operations Manager plays a critical role in that mission by leading herd health, milk production, reproduction, and daily farm operations for our 130+ Holstein cows.

  • Partner with Human Resources on recruiting, onboarding, performance management, and employee development
Safety, Compliance amp; Continuous Improvement
  • Maintain compliance with all animal welfare, environmental, and workplace safety requirements
  • Ensure audit readiness and adherence to farm standards

  • Thrive in fast-paced environments where no two days are the same
  • Enjoy solving problems and improving systems

  • Leadership responsibility in a 365-day agricultural operation
