JOB DESCRIPTION:

Hansen Agri-PLACEMENT is seeking a Farm Equipment Operator for a progressive Missouri row crop operation. This position offers the opportunity to be involved in all phases of crop production on a larger, dryland corn and soybean farm. The ideal candidate will have experience operating modern farm equipment and a solid understanding of precision agriculture technology, including GPS and field mapping. Primary responsibilities include operating equipment during planting and harvest, with duties that shift seasonally based on the needs of the operation.

During the off-season, this individual will assist with routine equipment maintenance and repairs to ensure machinery is fully prepared for the upcoming crop year. Additional responsibilities may include tillage work, hauling grain, and general shop duties. Some grain handling experience, including drying and storage, is preferred, and the ability to climb grain bins is a plus. The farm operates all late-model John Deere equipment and features excellent facilities. There is no livestock in the operation, which allows for some downtime during the early winter months.

This position requires someone who takes pride in their work, is self-motivated, and demonstrates strong character. The successful candidate will be adaptable, flexible, and able to take direction while also applying problem-solving skills and mechanical aptitude to address challenges as they arise. A neat appearance, good attitude, and willingness to work with and support others as part of a team are essential. Compensation is dependent on experience in row crop production and offers strong earning potential based on performance. This is a long-term opportunity for an individual who wants to grow in responsibility and advance alongside a well-established and forward-thinking farm operation. The surrounding community offers good schools, churches, and employment opportunities for a spouse. The area also provides abundant outdoor recreation, including camping, fishing, hunting, and boating.
