The Role The Riverina is an agricultural region in southwestern New South Wales, known as one of the most productive and agriculturally diverse areas of Australia. Our client's family cropping and sheep enterprise in the heart of the Riverina is looking for a senior farm hand to join its close-knit team. Two properties cover over 42,000 acres, currently cultivating 13 000 acres depending on the season, with the remainder of the land allocated for sheep production. They predominantly grow dryland crops such as wheat and barley, which are stored onsite in a 12,000-ton grain storage facility. The crops are sold to feedlots and targeted markets throughout the year, with some oats and vetch planted for pasture management for sheep production. They run approximately 5,000 Merino and 5,000 Dorpers across the two properties; these are used for self-replacing flock and fat lamb production.
