Little Butch 16 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 Started a job Monday on a free range Chicken farm, helping build the new 'pen' just general labouring really aswell as driving the dumper and the 'Merlo' Plan on sticking It for 6 months or so then looking for something better paid as I'm only on minimum wage. Thinking of looking at farms etc? What do general farmhands, Tractor drivers earn roughly? And what other skills could I learn to give me a better chance of a Job? Butch.

fireman 10,774 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 I'd say learn as much as you can,the runnings and costs of things as around this part of the world chicken and turkey rearing is very big and i've seen a few chicken farm workers and managers jobs going with a house with it,who knows it might be for you but without the right knowledge you won't know.
