jordantaylor Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi guys, as a few of you know i have decided to go down the self employed route as i havnt got allot to lose really so i thought it could be a new way to go for work. I have got work coming in from JRO Griffiths & Sons but these days are varied as its quiet about the farm at the moment apart from days when we are loading the walkers lorries. they are also training me on the days i am working there to be able to opperate the washer and grader by myself and to be able to deal with the lorries coming in and out doing the paperwork and other relevant jobs. I was wondering if anybody on here was looking for a worker or knows of a friend looking for a worker to do relief work, tractor or stock work for a short period of time or a few days per week, i have asked about some local farms but not had much luck but its only been a few days. I am prepared to do any work from milking and calf rearing to lambing, tractor work or even site of estate managment inc fencing, strimming ect.... if anybody can help me find a bit of work it would be much appreciated. it must be about shropshire though due to travel and the cost of fuel ect... i dont want to have to put my prices up to much to cover that otherwise i wont get the work , so the closer to home the better really many thanks Jordan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Have you thought about Canada or Australia for harvest season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordantaylor Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Hi Robert, no unfortunatly things didnt work out down there. Multiple problems with the boss and how he was running the farm ect... you can see why i left in the calley farm topic, I came back up to Shropshire and JRO Griffiths gave me some work for the time being and now ive gone self employed as they are not opperating every day, im now looking for work to fill in for the days that im not working at grifftihs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerrabbit Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 Might be a good idea for you Jordan to place a few adds in your local papers and any free publications and if you have such a thing in your area, your local parish magazine etc offering your services. You have to 'put yourself about'. Best of luck and wishes for your new venture, hope it goes well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great idea from Tim and something I need to consider myself having been self-employed for nearly a year now, and discovering word-of mouth has its limits. It's also a food idea to apply directly for harvest work now as big employers tend to go look at agri colleges for fresh recruits at around this time of year (if they haven't done so already) and are less likely to look at small ads.
