farm managers

Rural operation directors

Farm managers oversee the daily operations of agricultural properties, making decisions about planting, harvesting, livestock, equipment, and labor.

They may work for landowners who don't farm themselves, or manage large operations requiring professional oversight.

The role combines agricultural knowledge with business administration: The farm manager hired seasonal workers for the apple harvest.
