Vegetable Farm Worker Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last few seasons on a vegetable block where I helped with soil prep, grafted trellises, and kept a steady eye on the harvest queue. At [Previous Company], I learned to read moisture and nutrient signs in the soil and adjusted irrigation accordingly. We moved a lot of crops, and I kept the packing line rolling by keeping picked veg trimmed and sorted to size. I’ve found that steady routines and practical tool handling make the quick shifts in a busy day easier to manage. I’m comfortable with seedling care, transplant timing, and crop scheduling, and I understand the rhythm of weed control, fertilising and pest management. I’ve operated a range of farm machines and hand tools, kept machinery in good order, and followed safe handling practices for pesticides. I’m also used to grading and packing produce into containers, then loading trucks for delivery, while keeping wastage to a minimum. There’s a straightforward story from last season that stands out. We faced a stretch of hot, dry days that challenged our irrigation plan. I monitored the system, adjusted run times, and helped re-sequence thinning and harvests to protect ripeness. By keeping notes on soil moisture and plant response, we significantly improved pack quality and reduced overripe stock at the end of the week. I’m available for a chat about the [Company Name] role and how I can contribute. I’m happy to discuss scheduling, safety procedures, and the day-to-day routines on the farm. Kind regards, [Your Name]
