I grew up on a NQ family owned beef breeder operation before heading up to the NT where I developed skills on bigger sized operations. From there I went into the mines for experience in earth moving equipment. While in the mines I did some part time work to gain more experience - grounds keeping, fencing, quarry work and farm/ tractor work on days off along with contract mustering. I am currently finishing a Cert 3 in Business Admin and a Cert 4 in Agriculture with the view to do more study in the future. I have done Chemical Accreditation, Trainer Assessor Cert 4, Preg Testing, Business of Grazing as well as several business/management development courses. And am happy to do more in regards to development. I would describe myself as- - Get things done attitude -Always willing to learn more -Balance productivity with safety to ensure work can progress -Honest, loyal and professional

Hi, I’m a 39yo male that lives in western Sydney. My main occupation over 20yrs has been excavator/bobcat operations until I recently started my own business DK Mowing & Landscape Maintenance. The business has been operating since December 2018. I live with my fiancée Kristy and she works full time as a manager at Ausco, she actually doesn’t know I’m doing this. During my years of operations I took a break and decided to do my cert 3 in Ag. After completing my cert 3 I started my cert 4 by correspondence but at around half way through I stopped as I didn’t have the time to do it. I continued working on a farm down in the southern Riverina for another 5yrs. While I did my cert 3 the farm had no livestock, no pastures, irrigation, ect only the perimeter fencing that’s it. My main roll was to take over after doing my cert 3 with some guidance from the teacher and turn it into a fully functioning rotational grazing setup to breed and sell prime lambs. The main paddock was only 300 acres (120 ha) so nothing to extravagant but whether it be 12,000 ha or 100ha it would have just involved more rotational paddocks with more livestock on a much bigger scale. Anyway pretty much everything we needed I either fabricated or it was bought and I set out to design it such as sheep yards, race, weigh station, holding yards, fencing, gates posts and stays, main water supply to all troughs, stock route, ect ect, I looked after cropping, all pastures which was mainly lucerne, and got in sub contractors to spray and sow. I also worked the farm as a zero till which suited a modern air seeder. Our sheep were composite ewes and rams white Suffolk’s. We also turned out some first crosses also. Our main crops were canola, wheat, barley. It was also my job to estimate yield, treat pests and diseases, soil tests, ect. So the reason I’m doing this is because I really miss the land. I actually feel like that’s where I belong. The reason I didn’t continue on the land was the income difference between operating in Sydney and working for someone on the land. I’m really looking for something where I could work 2 weeks on 1 week off or even if there were a second living quarters just stay there. So preferably I’d like to work on a prime lamb facility where I would be in my element. Cheers, Regards, Dave.

My aim this year is to obtain a range of experience and exposures to different farming practices and operations while on a planned 2 year working holiday around Australia. The 10,000 acre grazing and cropping, family owed property in the Amelup/Borden region of WA is well managed by my father, but I feel that experience elsewhere in the state and country would greatly benefit myself and business and help keep our methods and approach both modern and profitable.

Hello, My name is Liana Tyne and I’m interest in a career within the agricultural industry during the 2019 year and onwards. Growing up and now working on a dairy and beef farm, has helped me to develop and learn skills associated with farming, cattle and calf handling, pasture management and operating farming machinery. I have gained other agricultural skills through my school Agriculture farm, where I have attended numerous cattle handling seminars as well as working with show cattle and cattle studs. These opportunities have helped me to develop and learn more within the agriculture industry. The activities and opportunities I have undertaken have helped me to develop skills, such as the ability to work well in a team environment, the ability to anticipate, understand and meet the standards required of me as well as conducting myself appropriately in different situations. My work ethics are of the highest standard and I am an avid and quick learner and pride myself on effective communication and achieving my own personal goals as well as meeting team objectives within their industry. I believe with my willingness to learn, ability to adapt to new challenges and my passion for the agricultural industry, I could be an important part of your team, if given the opportunity. I appreciate you taking the time to read this! Kind Regards, Liana Tyne

I'm a motivated and hard working estonian girl. I always love to learn new skills and get new experiences. In Australia my main job experiences have been at a construction site and in a farm. I really enjoyd both of these jobs and I learned different skills that I can use in the jobs to come. I may not have grown up on a farm, but I have spent all my summers at the contryside, where we grew different vegetables, so from a young age I have helped with different jobs and learned the importance of work. This makes me dedicated and you can trust that I will always show up on time to work. I’m not afraid of long hours, I more prefer them. I have a can do attitude, I believe a person can do anything if only one puts mind to it, so I am not afraid of challenges. I also have my drivers licence, forklift license and white card. I am travelling together with my parter Raul Joosep Kartau, who is also registered on this website.

I grew up on a farm near Tamworth. I have experience as a Farmhand working with sheep and cattle. Prior to that I have machinery experience contracting through QLD, NSW and Vic working for an excavator company and harvesting. I'm currently in a farmhand/assistant manager role. I'm interested in mixed livestock operations (sheep and cattle). I have not completed a low-stress stock handling course but my experience in QLD was all low-stress handling. I am open to cropping opportunities too. Please contact me by email as where I live does not have phone reception. Or if you leave a message I will get back to you when in range.

My name is Raul and I am from Estonia. I have spent all my childhood at countryside and my family had a little farm, growing pigs, chickens and cows, also some vegetables, potatoes and grain. So from a young age I have experience with tractors. In Estonia I worked as an agricultural worker, where I operated different farm machinery. During that job I learned more about working in a bigger farm. In Australia I have previously worked in a farm driving mostly a chaser bin, but also other machinery and tractors. I have a little experience with gps systems, but I would love to learn even more about them. I am hard working, fit and easy to get along with. I take every job as a challenge and get it done as good as possible. I am travelling together with my partner Oliivia Oengo, who is also registered on this website.

I'm Estonian backpacker who has experience operating machines with GNSS(GPS) devices(graders, excavators and buldozers). I have worked as a GNSS(GPS) Technician and land surveyor in Estonia. I'm familiar with Trimble, Leica and Topcon devices. I'm hard working and precise. Long hours and manual labor(lifting heavy things) are not a problem for me.

Bill Rutherford & Sheila Cunningham We are a mature, reliable and responsible couple, working together according to our individual strengths and experience. We made the decision to spend our last few working years working in different places as a way to see more of our world. Bill was born and raised in Central Otago, NZ, taking over the family farm upon the death of his father just after he left school. He has remained self employed for the majority of his working life. Sheila has a background in the military and engineering. In general Bill is the hands-on person while Sheila handles all admin and organisation but Sheila is also quite capable of stepping into and enjoying a practical role as required. We have clean NZ HT licences (4FRW and 2FRTW) , which translated to Vic LR and MR as well as forklift, loader, motorcycle and quad-bike experience . We both have many years experience working independently, not requiring any external motivation to get the job done in a timely and efficient manner. Neither of us are clock watchers and, given the option, will complete a job rather than come back to it the next day. We are clearly aware of the necessity to work with the weather and the season. We are of course willing to be drug tested. Bill & Sheila

Hi there I have loads of experiences in all aspects of farming from dairy thru to broad acre and love it all

I have a passion for the Agriculture industry this begun at a very young ago by growing up riding horses and working with cattle and sheep. Over the years I have worked at GrainCorp as a sampler, in a Piggery and studied all possible Agriculture subjects in high school, to then go on and study at Tocal Agriculture College gaining Certificates in Agriculture and Wool Classing. I am looking for a job where I can work doing what I love while continuing to learn new things! I am hard working, honest, mature, responsible and reliable person!

Hi, I am a diligent worker accustomed to living in rural Western Australia on a livestock and grain farm. I am competent in Livestock, Agriculture and Machinery operations. I look forward to new challenges and learning new skills and have worked in many different environments on the farm. I am a very outgoing person that is very aware of my actions and always strive to do the job right the first time

Hard working farmer Spent the majority of my life on the family farm in Cranbrook Looking for a new challenge

I am an Agricultural Engineer from Córdoba, Argentina. I plan to spend around 9 months during 2019 working in Australia, and I am therefore seeking for a job. To start with, I graduated in December 2016 as an Agricultural Engineer (equivalent to Agronomist) and since then I have worked for two different companies. I worked from April 2017 to March 2018 for the Catholic University of Cordoba (the University I graduated from) as a Resident of Agricultural Establishments. This Institution owns around 4000 hectares of arable land on which it performs extensive cropping; and 3500 hectares of grazing land where it runs a 5-breed seedstock operation. As a resident, I performed the everyday tasks of a mixed operation, such as facilities maintenance and repair, animal feeding, husbandry, vaccination, castration and general care. Furthermore, I also performed more specific tasks such as crop scouting, pesticide prescription and spraying, seeding and harvest control and campaing planning among others. In May 2018 I started working at Tecnocampo S.A., a farming company owned by my family, as Technical Responsible of Production. In that position, I was responsible for all the processes and tasks required for extensive crop production (corn, soybeans, wheat, chickpeas, beans among others) in certain farms (around 2000 hectares). I was in charge of campaing planning, seeding, crop scouting, pesticide prescription, harvest control, soil sampling, analysis and fertilizer prescription and logistics. I also designed and conducted field trials and processed GIS information and statistics (for example, yield maps). It is mainly dryland but I had around 110 hectares of chickpeas under central pivot irrigation last winter. Our summer crops are corn (regular, popcorn, flint corn); different beans (mung, navy, black, LRK, DRK) and soybeans. In the winter we produce mainly chickpeas for export, and also some wheat. In our area, we get most of the rain during the summer and none during the winter, so corn and soybeans are our main crops as well as chickpeas.The company farms around 50.000 hectares around the country and runs an Aberdeen Angus seedstock operation. I am able to work outdoors as well as in the office. As regards my personality, I am a proactive person who is always looking forward to solving the next problem. I like to put thought to everything I do. I love to work in teams, discussing every decision and supporting each other. I consider myself a kind, tranquil and respectful person. Finally, I enjoy very much working outdoors on the field. My goal in Australia is to spend some time abroad, learning about how farming is performed and applying my knowledge from Argentina in the Australian environment.

I grew up on a large, remote station an hour south of Cobar in Western New South Wales and am passionate about our agricultural industry. This has allowed me to harness and enhance key agricultural skills such as low stress livestock management, grazing practices, correct use of farm equipment and machinery as well as gain a positive grounding. I have also learnt to adapt to and appreciate the need for long days and the value of work. I have worked with goats, White Dorpers (both a stud and commercial operation) and a mix of cattle breeds. I love working in teams but can also be independent. My machinery skills are not as extensive as my livestock capabilities but I am keen to learn and improve. I am able to help out with both household and farm duties. I am also able to bring my own motorbike and dog if required or suitable to work/ living conditions.

I am hard working, fast learning & love working on the land. I have a lot of experience in tractor/header operations with broad acre & also controlled traffic situations. In the last 3 years I have been involved with mixed farming which has given me valuable experiences with sheep, cattle & pigs to go with my machinery operation. My greatest assets are honesty & loyalty.

I am a 27 year old german girl, looking for a farm to work at and experience the australian farmer's life. I am in my second year visa already and want to work all the time through until september 2019. I used to work at a diary farm back home and for two different pearling farms in WA. I know what I can expect. Hard and dirty work and I am fine with it. I am strong and like to challenge myself to learn something new. I have a drivers license and a 4wdr. Also I know how to ride a motorbike (no license tho) I am working in the hospitality since about 8 years. Long days and hard work is what I am used to. Working independently or in a team, I don't mind. I love it to be in the nature and don't mind sun or rain. My english skills are very well since I am traveling for almost two years.

I am looking for full time, part time or casual work, doing any role on farm. I have grown up on a hobby farm running Merino sheep, and have experience with cattle, sheep, horses, poultry etc. I have my full license and my own ute. I am eager and willing to learn, and have a good work ethic.

I have grown up on our mixed farming operation in the Central West of NSW and as a result I have good experience in all aspects of sheep and cattle work and of a winter cropping operation. I am looking to be both challenged and rewarded in an industry that I have grown up with. My background on a mixed farming operation in the central west of New South Wales has exposed me to the hard work and passion that is needed to succeed in such a challenging role. In my previous roles, all associated with the rural sector, I have gained a knowledge of farm management, animal health and what is needed to make a successful career in agriculture. I have developed excellent interpersonal skills through sales related roles and pride myself on being able to communicate effectively with people from all walks of life. I have shown in past jobs that I have the ability to work efficiently and cooperate with team members to achieve great results for all stake holders involved. I have a passion for the rural industry.

I'm looking for a work with my partner. We are ready to start ASAP and looking to work lots of hours (50 plus). Currently in Brisbane, but can move for the right job. We both have driving licenses. Our last position was in Auscott cotton farm, where we worked almost for a year. Mainly our job was to operate tractors (John Deeres like 8310RT, 8370RT, 8285R, 8295R, 8345R, 9470RX, 6155M, JCB backhoe and Merlo) and doing works like discing, ripping, planting, spreading, rolling hills, hilling up, grader boarding, working with cultipacker, scarify, drag bucket, chaser bin and lilliston rig. We have had lots of training about safety, equipment maintenance and operating. We worked in 12 hours day or night shifts and 12 days in 2 weeks, so long working hours wouldn’t be a problem for us. We are not afraid to learn new things. In short, we are honest, capable of learning quickly, stress resilient, hard working Estonians with a sense of responsibility in what we do.

I grew up on a sheep and beef farm in Canterbury, New Zealand. I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of farm work. I have worked for a baling contractor over the last summer season doing raking and wrapping. Can work from mid-January till late December 2018. Please refer to my C.V. for a full list of skills and experience.

I am an agricultural science and business student with a background in the industry having grown up on a small, family owned and operated, beef cattle enterprise. I am passionate about establishing a lifelong career in the agricultural sector, and I am motivated to use every opportunity given to me to gain industry experience. My current goal is to improve upon my practical skills by working on cattle properties, in order to build a foundation of practical knowledge that I can rely on in any future opportunities throughout the industry. I am prepared for the hard work that is required when working on a station and I am keen to succeed.

I am a farmer's son in France. We grow cereals such as durum wheat, barley, rapeseed, corn, soybeans and something else but we ensile because we also have a dairy herd. I drive a lot of different tractors because we have several types on the farm to limit the risk of breakage. I know how to work as a team because on the family farm we are 4 associates and 3 employees. And on the dairy farm in New Zealand we were 5 employees and the boss.

I'm a 26 year old Argentinian girl actually in my first year visa 462, and I had been approved for my second year visa till January 2020. I did agronomist studies and I'm really keen in working and learning about farming in Australia, specially with stock and crops. I didn't grew up in a farm but I had been in touch with it since I was born because my family has a farm and I like going there as much as I can.

Have helped out grandparents in countryside to deal with chickens, also keeping the garden and fields in order wich meant weeding, seeding, planting and picking up garden products. Have done some strawberry picking in summertimes over the years in Estonia and Finland. From these experiences I have learned that I do not mind hard work and long hours under the hot sun. Also I am very interested in gaining new skills - I am a really quick and ambitious learner.

Finishing my visa farm work at the end of March and looking for something to keep me going until closer to June time until the snow season starts! Very hard working (2 days off in 3 months record!) A very quick learner and very keen to learn new things too! My farm work for visa included irrigation pipe moving in Lucerne hay and loader experience loading bales onto/off trucks. Learnt about some sheep work but didn't work that closely with them.

I'm Jonathon Campbell and I'm currently living in Tasmania and I am interested in becoming a farmhand or jackaroo within your cooperation. I would like to gain experience within the cropping and livestock industry. I haven’t had much experience working on a farm or large scale operation but am eager to have a go and put in the hard work to learn new skills and have knowledge that I can use in the future and pass on to others. During my time working with my father on our sheep and beef property, I have done lamb-marking and woolpressing which isn’t an easy job. In my opinion, I have learnt the meaning ‘hard work’ from this. In 2014, I completed a dairy pre-employment training course at Alanvale Tafe Tasmania which teaches us: basic fencing skills, quad bike safety, OHS in agriculture, pasture management, animal welfare and diseases that can affect milk production and quality which will help me. I would really like to learn to ride a horse from a basic level through to an advanced rider and the same goes to riding a motorbike. I would like to become to skilled and work hard to become a skillful employee. Through a variety of jobs I have learnt about safely working with and around machinery. My work experience, which I believe will assist me in this position, includes working on my father’s farm; greens keeper's assistant at Barnbougle; along with other positions which have provided me with experience, knowledge, the ability to work in a team and unsupervised, and further developed an already an excellent work ethic. I am also willing to undertake my certificate in agriculture while working for you if its possible.I am a committed, hard working, energetic young gentleman. If you were to employ me I can promise you will not have any regrets. I am also prepared to move if successful. Enclosed is my resume for your review. Thank you for considering me for this position and am looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks Jonathon Campbell

I have grown up on a small beef cattle property north of Canberra and have always had a strong interest in Agriculture. Throughout high school I worked casually on a nearby wool and fat lamb property developing a strong interest in the sheep sector, I have worked as a rouseabout on other properties and am currently completing a certificate IV in wool classing via distance. Because of my interest in sheep and cattle I decided to study Vet Science at university. I will be in second year in 2019 and upon graduation I would like to become a mixed/large animal vet in a rural area. Coming from a grazing area I have had limited exposure to cropping. Aside from small amounts of cultivation and fodder conservation undertaken at home. For this reason I am very interest to learn about the day to day operations of a cropping operation.

I am a 26 year old woman from Estonia and I am looking for farm work. As I have grown up in the countryside I am no stranger to farm life. My family grows a lot of its own food and I have also been involved in that. I have planted different crops, maintained them through growing period, picked and sorted them. When I was 17 I started working in Vikerkaare farm as a berry picker in the summer, I really liked the job and I worked there for 4 more summers. When I was 20 I started working in a busy clothes store where I had 12 hour shifts. For a year and a half I also had a second job in a club. From 2012 to 2017 I also went to college, so during that time I understood what hard work is and I know I’m not afraid of it. I have had a lot of work experience in a team and because of that I know how to consider with others needs and value everybody’s skills. For the past year and a half I was an assistant manager in a clothes store which made me even more of a team player. I have no problem with leading a team and training new and old workers.

A little about myself, I have a for many years competed at a state level for my swimming. You may wonder of the relevance but I believe it demonstrates my commitment & work ethic. 5am starts most mornings as well as training after school I believe is an example of my commitment to my goals. I come from a family where honesty, integrity & hard work are the core values of our family. My brothers & I have always been taught to own our mistakes & look for the lesson in them. I understand that mistakes happen but I also understand that this is a part of learning. I have a passion for agriculture. It is not always easy to get a start when your only experience is working on the family’s farms. I have for many years assisted my parents with their farm work. I believe that, given an opportunity, I could show by example that I would be a valuable member of the team. I am young, energetic, honest & I learn quickly, I believe that given an opportunity I would be a valuable asset to your team. Even if unsuccessful I ask that you keep my information & if something comes up at a later date please don’t hesitate to contact me.

I grew up on a farm on a cattle and sheep farm on the west coast of Scotland. From a very young age i was working on the farm and all the general duties with working with machinery/tractors. I also work at my uncles farm at weekends and when i had free time outwith my previous employment at the council. I have experience with both the feeding and looking after of the animals and Lambing/Calving them. Any general farm duties I can do. With the Tractor experience back home i have Ploughed, Power Harrowed, Harrowed, Spread dung, Carted Bails, fed the live stock, rolling etc. I am a very quick learner and i am very keen to go into any line of work to gain new experience..Since being in Australia i worked on a large 60000 acre farm in NSW planting crops with large air seeders and 1000HP tractors with GPS systems. Other duties where general maintenance of the grounds which included ploughing, kelly chains etc. Mustered cattle and sheep with feeding and general duties with the livestock. At harvest i was a chaser bin driver but also keen to learn on a header.

Working in Australia on the farms of Gavin and Mark was very exciting and instructive. They tought me how to operate different types of tractors and machinery and i got a lot of new experiences and impressions of how farming in Australia works. I also got in touch with sheep work and how to drench and bullet them and even crutching the rams. That was very interesting, because it was something totally new and different to me. Overall it was a very good and interesting experience in Australia and i really would like to make more out of it now. Becoming a specialist in farming is not as easy. There are so many aspects to look at and think about to not make any grave mistakes during seeding, pest management and harvest. But i am very keen to give it a try! Step by step if there is a way to become a farming specialist one day. Somewhere in the future i would like to manage a farm and work close, hand in hand with the owner of a farm. For the beginning i would like to get more experience in operating large machinery like the Krone BigPack 1290 HDP, the Claas Lexion 795 or the John Deere S790. On the one hand it is because of my love to the big machinery but on the other hand it is because of lerning more of how and when to harvest grain or bale in different weather conditions and how to handle harvesting and baling in consideration of the moisture. In the next step i’d like to lern more about preparing the paddocks for seeding and how to find out what type of fertilizer is needed on each paddock in consideration of the plants the farmer wants to grow on it for getting the best possible crop out of it. And of course i am interested in operating a boom sprayer and would like to find out the best, effectivly and environment friendliest way of spraying weeds, diseases and insects on farms outside europe. I guess there are many more things to consider and think about, but i think i can handle all necessary aspects to become a good farm hand or later one day a assistant or manager.

I am mechanical engineer. My nationality is Turkish. Me and my wife wants to come Australia to learn farming especially in dairy industry. Till 2014 I worked in our own field. I can use tractor. I know the irrigation, harvesting process. After we learn the details we are planning to do our own business. We want to help farmers on his/her all works and same time we will improve our skills.

I've been driving tractors for the past 6 years since I left school for contractors and farmers have previously worked in auzzy dnoing harvest in hyden in 2016 and seeding in mukabudin in 2017 driving borgult bars and bin on a 600hd case looking to do the seeding for 3 months or so.
