Farm manager

Farm managers run the operations of farms, overseeing crops, livestock, staff, and budgets. The work combines hands-on agricultural knowledge with management: planning planting and harvesting, coordinating labour, diagnosing crop and equipment problems, managing finances, and making the decisions that keep the farm productive and profitable.

They manage commercial farms and agricultural operations. The role suits practical, organised people who understand both farming and business, can lead a workforce through the seasons, and balance the daily demands of production with the planning and budgeting a farm enterprise requires.
