Experience
Please describe your past and/or present farming experience:
I have worked for the past 2 years as an assistant on adiversified dairy farm in Northeast Ohio as well as a small beef cattle operation in Southern Ohio.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of the skills I'm confident in:

Operating tractor, front-end loader, brush hog, seed drill
