What is a Farm Tractor Operator job?

A Farm Tractor Operator is responsible for driving and operating tractors and other agricultural machinery to prepare fields, plant, maintain, and harvest crops.

Farm Tractor Operators need mechanical aptitude, experience with agricultural equipment, and often a high school diploma or equivalent.
