Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): tractor or spray course certificates plus ID copy and any driver's licence you hold.

How2Apply recruits for this position on behalf of hiring employers around White River; applications go into our talent pool and shortlisted candidates are introduced directly.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

Tips to get shortlisted

List the machines you can drive and the implements you have used. Farmers want to know if you can plant, spray or harvest on day one.
A reference from a previous farmer is gold. Ask for it before you leave any farm job.
