I have experience on a wide range of machinery from the smaller more conventional wheeled 160hp tractors up to 600hp tracked machines, operating grassland implements and larger arable implements reaching 12 metres in width. Have recently started relief driving a 36 metre self propelled John Deere sprayer. I also have two seasons experience driving a combine.
Have extensive experience working with sheep and all the associated routine jobs. I grew up on a family farm where we also had pigs.

Long term career progression is important. I aim to commence FACTS and BASIS training this winter as I enjoy agronomy, and it will help in the long term if I were to go into farm management
