Field and Flock Farms is an innovative agricultural company specializing in forage (hay) and cash crop production. We run late-model equipment and utilize advanced techniques and tools to make hay production much less labour-intensive. Small square bales of hay are bundled by equipment and are handled/stacked/loaded only by equipment (tractor or telehandler) much like big square bales of hay.
We are currently seeking an experienced equipment operator to to be employed on a permanent, full-time basis. The right candidate would be reliable, responsible, mechanically inclined, and have a passion for innovate farming. Experience operating some of the following pieces of farm equipment is expected (however further training will be provided):
Tractor (Fendt experience considered an asset)
Small square and big square balers
Combine
Self-propelled sprayer
Telehandler
In addition to running equipment, the employee would be expected to provide simple maintenance to equipment and farm implements (e.g. cleaning, greasing, replacing simple parts, etc.) and monitoring/reporting more serious problems. Having an AZ license is considered an asset and would be paid accordingly. Rate of pay dependent on experience and reflective of desire to recruit a serious and experienced employee.
