Corporate farm career advice
Hoping there are a few farm managers in amongst the 801k members in this sub.
I work as an operator for a corporate almond farm in rural South Australia (technically Victoria) and I am coming up to my performance review next week. We have two Almond properties and one pistachio farm under our farm banner along with cars and trucks.
Everyone has the same career progression plan, move up into management, but its an option if one of those managers leave. The manager who is newest has been there for 24 years, so current management is slow to offer training as none are even considering leaving.
I want to be different, I want to explore other progression avenues as a way to getting out of the tractor before I'm 50. I love the company I'm with, pay is decent at 30 odd an hour and I'm given free reign when it comes to when i start my day and how long I work for, as long as I have 80h in my pay cycle. What paths have some use to larger corporate farms? I'm at a complete loss.
