Mixed Crop Farmer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last decade running a mixed crop operation that combines market access with solid on-farm practice. At harvest time last year we moved 60 tonnes of grain and veg through local buyers, and I kept the books straight through a season of drought and late rainfall. I know what it takes to plan plantings, manage water systems and keep equipment ticking over without drama. I believe [Company Name] is looking for someone who can line up production with what the market wants, not just what the paddock will yield. My day to day covers crop production planning, soil prep, seedling planting and pruning, plus pest and weed control. I’ve built routines for recording yields and input use, and I’ve supervised a small team and a few contractors on fertilising, pruning and harvest logistics. I’m comfortable with budget tracking and foreseeing when to scale or cut back. I’ve also kept irrigation and water systems running and done basic farm infrastructure maintenance to avoid breakdowns that slow everything down. One particular season stands out. We faced a late frost and tight weed pressure, but I reorganised the crew and adjusted the spray program while keeping the crop within spec for the market. Harvest timing shifted by a week and we avoided losses, with the produce graded and dispatched on time. It wasn’t fancy, just careful planning, solid records, and clear short-term decisions that kept us moving. I’m keen to discuss how my hands-on approach to crop coordination, market awareness and fronting staff can fit [Company Name]. I’m available for a chat any time this week and happy to share more details on a plan for your next season. Kind regards, [Your Name]
