Summary
I stared out farming when i was 16 and learned a lot of various things. I mostly worked ground and ran the auger wagon when i first started. When i turned 18 i went and got my class A CDL and drove few miles in a truck going to elevators and fertilizer plants. I got a little time in a john deere 4830 and r4038 sprayer, fungicide on beans and pre spray. I got taught how to apply with a 47.5 foot bar on gas with a 9570rt. I had a lot of overtime working on the farm and would be willing to work long hours.
