Day-to-day operating brief
What Mixed Farmer work looks like in practice
An employed Mixed Farmer coordinates both arable or forage production and livestock activity on the same holding. The role requires choices across rotations, grazing, feed, manure, machinery, labour and storage, so its authority must be clearer than simply combining two job descriptions. Terms should identify enterprises and land, owner-reserved decisions, seasonal availability, staff supervision, crop inputs, animal health, machinery, purchases and sales, cross-enterprise biosecurity, environmental controls, budgets and reporting.
Responsibilities reflected in the contract
Plan daily crop livestock and estate work across enterprises.
Coordinate rotations grazing feed manure labour and machinery.
Monitor crop condition animal welfare stores and facilities.
Control authorised inputs contractors purchases and maintenance.
Report output costs incidents trade-offs and forecast changes.
