What is live in farming?

A Live In Farming job typically involves working on a farm while living on-site, often in provided housing. Responsibilities can vary but may include planting, harvesting, feeding livestock, maintaining equipment, and other farm-related tasks. These jobs are common on organic farms, vineyards, and ranches, where hands-on labor is needed daily. Many positions offer room and board as part of the compensation. Live-in farming jobs can be seasonal or long-term, depending on the farm's needs.

What are the typical living and working arrangements for live in farming?

Live In Farming positions generally provide accommodation onsite, ranging from private rooms in the main house to separate cottages or farm housing. The work schedule often follows the natural routines of farming, with early mornings and seasonal variation in workload, including weekends or longer hours during busy periods such as planting or harvest. Team sizes can vary, but you’ll often collaborate closely with farm owners, other laborers, and sometimes temporary seasonal workers. Living onsite facilitates stronger teamwork and immediate response to farm needs, but also requires a willingness to adapt to rural lifestyles and shared spaces. Many find this setup rewarding due to the sense of community and direct engagement with the farming process.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in live in farming, and why are they important?

To thrive in a Live In Farming role, you need practical experience in agricultural work, basic animal husbandry, and knowledge of crop cultivation, often supported by a relevant background or on-the-job training. Familiarity with farm machinery, irrigation systems, and, at times, certifications in pesticide use or first aid is advantageous. Strong work ethic, adaptability to rural living, and good communication skills are essential soft skills for this lifestyle. These skills ensure that you can manage the daily and seasonal demands of a working farm while integrating effectively with farm owners and other team members.

Can you make a living off of live in farming?

Live-in farming jobs can provide a source of income, but earnings vary based on factors such as location, responsibilities, and experience. Many live-in farm roles are considered low-wage or part-time, so additional income sources or skills may be necessary for a sustainable living. Successful farm workers often combine farming with other agricultural or related work to improve earnings.

Job description

Job Description:

Dairy One Cooperative is seeking a Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) Technician to add to our growing team. The DHI Technician is responsible for going on-site to farms to collect milk samples from individual cows that will provide critical data to help farms make decisions and achieve their goals (production & profit).  The DHI Tech plays a significant role in providing the cooperative ownership with timely, accurate, and meaningful data. This position works on-site at various dairy operations.

This territory covers the Western NY region, concentrating on the Allegany, Wyoming, Cattaraugus, and Erie counties, and you may live anywhere within reasonable driving distance of this area. This role offers considerable autonomy, though evening and weekend work may be required to meet the demands of the position. No overnight travel required. Each farm is different in size (number of cows), parlor set up, milking schedule, services required and distance from your home. There is no such thing as a “typical day”, but your days will become predictable within your circuit and market. 

Our ideal candidate loves being on farms, brings a passion for working in the livestock industry, and has a strong work ethic and attention to detail. If you are strong in agriculture, we are open to candidates from various backgrounds such as genetics, feed, cattle, herd health, or related farming experience. Job satisfaction should come from building relationships with farmers in your existing/assigned circuit as well as with new farms and from working for a company that really makes a difference in the dairy food production realm. 

You will be expected to communicate regularly with your team leader(s) regarding scheduling, to be dependable and prompt, and to uphold Dairy One Values of Integrity, Professionalism, Commitment, Innovation, Positivity, and Safety.

We are seeking people who have a passion for (and experience in) farming and the physical capability to do the work required. In order to apply you MUST have a High School diploma, a good driving record, dependable transportation, and some dairy farm experience.

Essential Job Functions:

  • Equipment usage: sanitizing, setup/cleanup, printing reports and invoicing
  • Testing: record cow number, pour samples, monitor data for accuracy, sample delivery
  • Communication: Invoicing, driving/on-site visits and consultations with farms, connecting with Dairy One team and management for assistance as needed
