Grain Farm Worker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the past six seasons working across grain and vegetable rotations, and I’ve learned to read the paddock like a map. In my last year I helped bring a clearer weeds and pests plan to the crew, which cut sprayer passes by about 15 percent while keeping yields steady. I know the routines from soil prep through to harvest, and I’m comfortable using a range of machines and hand tools to keep things moving when weather slows us down. I’ve built and repaired trellises, set up irrigation lines, and supervised harvest teams to sort by size and ripeness. I’m familiar with fertilisation and weed control programs, and I can spot early signs of nutrient stress or disease. I’m practical with tasks like thinning, hoeing row crops, and stacking or packing product for transport. I’ve also kept records on yield and quality, and I can adapt to different grain and paddock layouts on the job. One story that stands out is a season when a sudden heat spike pushed our moisture demand up. I helped adjust irrigation timing and ran the chemical spray plan with care, keeping ops moving while the crew finished the day. We ended the season with consistent grain quality and a smooth handover to the packing shed, with fewer lot rejections than the year before. I’m comfortable with the full cycle from sowing seeds to load out. I’m available to discuss how my hands-on experience fits [Company Name] and the [Previous Company] approach. I can start with shift work and bring a steady presence to the team, ready to contribute to your next harvest window. Kind regards, [Your Name]
