We pay $20 to $60 per hr depending on qualifications. We hire and promote based on merit, DEI has produced thousands of useless civil serpants, we will go broke if we tolerate DEI or WOKE. A DEI army WILL lose.
Farming is actually many occupations wrapped into one. We do not have "manual labourers" all jobs use a machine of some kind. We farm which is obvious, we design, build and use custom made machinery. We are continually building and modifying existing machines/buildings. See various job descriptions below and pictures of equipment to be operated thru the website. At present we would like to hire apprentice mechanic or welder.
We are looking for a electonics enigineer or electronics engineering technologist who is very hands on. Our goal is to develop software and hardware to run our combines and tractors. The machine companies claim they own the software so we will remove theirs and install ours. For orientation on this matter search "John Deere" on U-tube, videos will come up showing how the OEM's are trying to rob us farmers. This is a multi-million dollar project so we will try to team up with a company that makes systems for race cars. During busy season you would also be required to run machinery.
We actually have 5 Class VIII combines however most of the time we cannot find enough "combine pilots". Another reason many days for running less is grain transport, we just cannot haul grain fast enough on a good crop.
The corona virus will change our way of life. As of 2023 this stupidity is gone but it will happen again, covid made alot of money for some evil people, they will do it again. The farm provides a isolated secure work enviroment where physical distance is easily maintained. If a worker wants a motor home can be parked on the farm, this will result in much personal freedom. We are essential workers. As is stated many times on this website mechanically inclined workers are needed. Grain farming is machine farming.
We do not want girlie men, if the fires that are blamed on climate change happened in 1946 a generation of REAL men would have put the fires out, it would have been just another day for a REAL man. Now we have tough guys/bullies pushing climate change, shutting down railways etc. The summer of 2023 was unbeleivably bad for air quality, a very plausible rumor is that these fires were set by climate change activists. I expect my workers to make a positive contribution to Alberta and to respect our founding conservative culture.
We are would like to hire a young person (plus 25 for insurance reasons) that would like to apprentice or is a journeyman. We have a heavy duty ag mechanic and welder on staff. Duties would include modifying/fixing farm machinery, building machinery that we cannot buy and operating farm equipment. Electronic knowledge is very desirable as most machines are computer controlled. We tend to work alone much of the time so the ability to work safely with minimum suppervision is important. A class clean class 1 liscence is desirable. Winter hours are very flexible, summer hours are long and mandatory.
This website is a oversight of all that we do, if you feel your skill set and value system match our operation send a resume or a detailed account of past work experience to jacobsfarmsdaysland@gmail.com
Wage to be set based on education and experience with tradesmen/engineers starting at $30/hr. Given the meltdown in the world farming is probably the most secure long term occupation. Communism is taking over, it always lowers production.
We have a home in Lake Havasu Arizona which offers much recreation in a warm place during the winter, our workers are welcome of course.
