I am a highly organised, energetic and motivated individual with solid farm managing experience. I was employed by S&M farms limited in Zambia, Chiredzi research institute in Zimbabwe, and Riverton Academy Farm in Zimbabwe . I have at least seven (7) years’ experience. In my previous role, I was responsible for organising all activities associated with dairy farming, beef cattle ranching, and crop production (500ha) including maize, wheat, soybeans, and tobacco, overseeing weed and pest control measures, irrigation, stock control and budgeting, liaising with and supervising contractors, working with owners, vets and agronomists to achieve production targets, and developing efficient Systems in areas such as work planning and staff management. A large part of my present role has been to oversee and manage crop production, as well machinery operations, repairing and maintenance. To this end I have performed hazard identification and risk management assessments in a farming environment. I am tertiary qualified, with a Bachelor of Agriculture specifically in Agronomy and a Diploma in General agriculture. I have solid computer skills, notably in Word, Excel and Outlook. You will find me to be a down-to-earth and cool-headed person, with excellent communication skills that I employ in my dealings with workers, owners, contractors and suppliers.
