Looking to help out at a dairy farm.
Description
With the long-term goal of retiring to a farm of my own, I'm looking to get experience working on a dairy farm.
I have a reasonable amount of agricultural experience from working on a poultry farm - until I had to stop because the farm wanted to end all casual contracts due to biosecurity issues arising from avian flu.
I'm quick to learn, hard working and (as long as it's on the weekend) able to work early/late short/long hours. I did all that at the chicken farm. I have a lot of general farming knowledge, some knowledge of how to repair and maintain farm equipment, but not a lot of experience operating heavy equipment. Farm would need to be reasonably close to Edmonton, but I'm not worried about long drives.
I'm willing to work as a volunteer. I did that at the chicken farm, since I started there knowing nothing - but it only took a little more than a month before they thought I was good enough to earn a wage. Either way, I have a good job during the week, and I'm more interested in experience than money.
Can provide a resume and references if needed.
