[QUOTE="Two Tone, post: 8148848, member: 44728"] I do all the jobs on your list as a Manager, as well as all the practical work as this farm is a one-man band now with the help of a friend when needed. I wouldn’t work as Manager on any farm that involves any Agents. There are a few specialist Agents that are really good at recruiting Managers for Landowners, but avoid any of the big Estate Agents like the plague! But you are right insofar that the term “Farm Manager” does cover an awful lot of sins. In [USER=155994]@confusedsibling[/USER] ’s situation, I’d advertise the post in FW and on here. Not everybody uses FB, but worth a try. Obviously you need to meet those that appeal to you. I’d recommend meeting their wife/husband at the first interview too. Employing a new Manager has got to involve total trust on both sides. I love God’s own County and it is where my wife comes from. Anybody who refers to it as that appeals to me and if I was a younger man, I’d be interested myself. I think that by starting off asking your question on TFF, you may well have stuck a note of the type of person you are and hopefully this might appeal to the right candidates for you. Hope it all goes well for you and whoever you end up with, in what will be a “working partnership”. [/QUOTE]
