I have worked at Benkris Dairy farm for 3 years as a casual as head calf rearer, often working alone and taking on important duties. I also helped out in the shed when needed. My first year working at Benkris I was taught how to drive a tractor and took on the role of rolling the paddocks. I have not driven a tractor since but am more than happy to re learn, I pick things up quickly. I man drive Manual and a Quad bike, I have had little experience on a 2 wheeler. I have worked Full time at a racing stable, riding race horses and getting all my fast riding certificates, I am passionate and want to achieve my job to a high level. I become Forman and took on responsibilities, like feed orders, feeding programs, herd management, farrier, vets, training programs and much more.9

In my previous role on a dairy farm (about 4 months), I gained valuable experience in calf rearing and milking, as well as general farm operations. Additionally, I worked for a vet clinic during the disbudding season, where I further developed my animal handling and communication skills. Growing up around farms, I am proficient in building fences and using a variety of farm equipment, making me confident in managing the day-to-day tasks required for a range of roles. Even if I am not qualified for the role you’re looking to fill, I am a very quick learner and it will take no time for me to become proficient in the tasks you are looking to cover.3

Ag Assist made a difference
"Highly recommend to others in the agri sector."
Selene H
Dairy Farmer, Canterbury
I book workers for when I need them!
“Ag Assist transformed our farm’s staffing requirements. As a part-time labour solution, it’s economically sound for us, I don’t have to go looking for jobs to fill in their day. I book for exactly what and when I require them, and that is what we pay for!”
Stuart M
Sheep & Beef Farmer, Canterbury
Ag Assist takes the guesswork out of finding workers.
“Seeing their profile, other farmer comments and ratings just puts a lot of trust in the system. It’s a great platform to find short-term workers, to fill holes or even seasonal work. Be confident knowing that there’s quality workers on there to help you out in the time of need.“
Vaughan B
Dairy Farmer, Canterbury
Attracting new skilled staff on a short-term basis was impossible!
“Ag Assist allowed us to fill these positions temporarily with skilled, motivated, and reliable staff at short notice. The platform was easy to use and allowed us to see the pool of available workers and then book a couple of workers who best suited our needs, to carry us through to the end of the season.”
Anna
Ag Assist Worker
I want to connect with a network of Canterbury farms.
“Being from Waikato, Ag Assist allowed me to gain practical experience alongside my studies by giving me flexibility to choose my work hours. It helped facilitate my on-farm learning but also kept my parents pleased with my commitment to study!”
Will
Ag Assist Worker
I found a way to get my farming fix and earn money.
“Balancing my 9 – 5 job with my passion for farming was made easy with Ag Assist. The flexibility of work hours allowed me to milk before and after work satisfying my itch while earning extra income. Plus working on various farm allowed me to experience different operations firsthand, enriching my knowledge and skills in the field.”
Jenna M
Dairy Farmer, Canterbury
I plan and book staff in advance.
“Three days prior to mating my Herd Manager broke his ankle. After reworking my staffing roster I needed some supplementary help to cover gaps. The Ag Assist availability calendar allowed me to plan and book staff in advance, which was instant peace of mind. No housing was required, purely drive in/ drive out.”
Reece M
Ag Assist Worker
I have built my network and connections in Agriculture.
“I have been with Ag Assist from the beginning. Studying an agricultural degree Ag Assist has given me opportunities to work on a variety of properties and grow my skills, expertise and networks in dairy, sheep & beef and horticultural industries.”
