Mixed Farm Worker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few years in mixed farm roles where doing the simple things right keeps everyone safer and the crops thriving. At [Previous Company], I helped patrol and inspect both crops and fencing, catching issues early and cutting unnecessary delays in harvest by about 20%. I’m comfortable with the daily grind, the long hours, and the quiet problem solving that keeps a farm running smoothly. My skills line up well with this role, from operating trucking and bulk handling gear to applying fertiliser and spraying crops correctly. I’ve done planting and harvesting with machines, kept irrigation and water systems ticking, and carried out basic maintenance on plant and fence systems. I know how to read stock needs, move muster and drove as needed, and keep records that matter on farm safety and yield. There’s a story I often recall from a busy harvest when a misaligned sprayer could have slowed grain intake. I spotted the issue during a routine patrol, adjusted the nozzle, and logged the fault so the team fixed it before the next run. That quick action avoided delay and ensured we met the week’s delivery targets. I’m comfortable with loading seed, grain and feed for transport and supporting livestock with water and feed when required. I’m available for a chat about how I can fit into [Company Name] and help with both crop and livestock work. If you’d like, I can discuss my background in more detail and how I approach daily tasks to keep things moving. Kind regards, [Your Name]
