[QUOTE="Pilatus, post: 8148605, member: 381"] I do wonder whether some, so say “manager” jobs advertised should be advertised as “farm foreman”. Apologies if the above is a bit of generalisation but I say the above as I don’t think the two so say managers I am thinking of have much say, if any,in the cropping rotation,doing budgets, filling in any subsidy payment forms, selling grain etc, or buying the farm fertiliser/ chemicals, or sitting down with(phoning) the bank manager to organise the farms overdraft requirements. Seems to me these days in many cases ,land agents are the farm/ estate managers, and the actual , “on farm mabager”, has the job of implementing the land agents plans, in some situations not an ideal situation, especially if the agent has had very little practical on farm experience, yet knows all the answers. :banghead: ;) [/QUOTE]
