Broadacre Crop and Livestock Farmer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, Opening hook From running a mixed farm with both broadacre crops and sheep, I’ve learned you fix problems on the farm floor first and then align them to the plan. In the past year our team in the paddock cut input costs by about 12 percent after I reorganised the irrigation schedule and weed control timing, using simple soil tests to back decisions. I’m looking to bring that practical approach to [Company Name]. Skills alignment I have hands on experience with crop planning, pasture management, livestock health monitoring and biosecurity. I’ve led budgeting and cash flow for capital works, kept equipment in good nick and managed contractors for fencing and sheds. I’m comfortable analysing market signals and adjusting production plans, and I’ve played a lead role in staff supervision and safety on site. Evidence story At [Previous Company] we faced a brittle drought window that threatened stock carry and silage quality. I coordinated water allocation, shifted some grazing plans, and prioritised feed reserves. We kept animal condition steady and finished the season with wire breaks and max animal output, while staying within budget. We tracked records closely and used the data to inform the next round of irrigations and replanting decisions. Professional close I’d be glad to discuss how my practical farming approach fits [Company Name] and what we can achieve together. I’m available for a chat at your convenience. Kind regards, [Your Name]
