Useful Skills

10+ years of real world farming or work experience to draw on as you hold conversation with our contributors An interest in learning more about the aspects of farming you don't know much about (not afraid to admit you don't know something when asking questions!) An affection for the heavy machinery and plant - either the latest and greatest or the classic kit still in use A passion for the livestock, from pygmy goats to dairy cows, we need someone who can talk turkey with our featured farmers Curious about the business perspective of the owners making the big decisions on how they run their operations
Maybe you don't have agricultural knowledge but you do have the enthusiasm and confidence that you can draw out the best from people you meet, make them smile and enjoy your presence. If you have this talent then you've got what it takes to be a valuable member of our crew.
