JOB DESCRIPTION

This is a hands-on farm role with a well-run, team-oriented row crop operation that values attitude, reliability, and a willingness to learn over “perfect” experience. The operation farms a large acreage of corn, soybeans, sugar beets, wheat, and irrigated ground, with all spraying done in-house and no livestock responsibilities.

The successful candidate will operate modern John Deere and Case IH equipment throughout the growing season and assist with equipment maintenance and shop work during the off-season. Duties change with the seasons, so flexibility and the ability to adapt to weather, workload, and timing are essential. Mechanical aptitude is important, as the operation takes pride in maintaining equipment properly and being prepared ahead of each season.

The owner and shop foreman are hands-on and willing to train the right person. What matters most is a strong work ethic, willingness to listen, learn, and improve, and the ability to show up consistently and contribute to the team. This operation intentionally rotates workloads during peak seasons to avoid burnout and maintain fairness across the crew.

This is a long-term opportunity for someone who wants stability and growth. Looking ahead several years, the operation expects retirements and increased responsibility opportunities for the right individual who proves dependable and invested. The surrounding rural community offers a solid quality of life with schools, churches, and strong agricultural roots.
