Summary

Have always grown up on or around the farm. Have worked for Turley Brothers Farm since 2021. During this time I have been responsible for harvesting hay crop, preparing fields for field crops, assisting with planting and harvesting, clearing land, landscaping, assisted with seed operations, and helping care to cattle. Also assist and complete maintenance/troubleshooting on heavy equipment including tractors, implements, and semi- trucks. I currently have my own sweet corn production in the spring/summer aside from my job at Turley Brothers in which I am responsible for preparing the fields, planting, spraying, and harvesting approximately 3 acres of sweet corn.
