Henk Joubert

Farm manager/ General worker
Upington

Summary

I have lived on a farm my whole life and started farming with cattle sheep goats and wildlife from a very young age.

I have a really big passion for farming and would like to pursue it as my career. I am familiar with all farm work from putting up and fixing fences to herding animals and working them. I also have some metal fabrication experience such as welding, grinding etc and would be able to perform numerous tasks around the workshop.

Also I am able to operate numerous tractors, grain carts, balers as well as service combine headers.

I am always willing to learn new skills, work hard and burn the midnight oil. I look forward to hearing from anyone who would give me the opportunity to come and be a positive input on there farm.

I am willing to relocate to a different province.
