I started of as a general driver doing all sorts from feeding to rolling during my apprenticeship. I then moved on to a contractor where i was able to gain experience in ploughing and other cultivation including disks. After this i moved to another contractor where i was one of the team leaders driving John Deere 215R and joskin slurry tanker, this was my first introduction to greenstar gps systems. In this same role i was a trailer driver for the foraging team. I then moved to my current postion where i again am one of three arable operators, I am involved in cultivating and drilling alongside fertilising all other general operating roles. I am a proficient telehandler driver and load/unload almost all of the lorries with grain. We have fendt tractors with autosteer/gps systems and vaderstad cultivation equipment including 4m top 6m disks and a 6m rapid drill.
