Farm Manager | Competitive Salary + Vehicle + Accommodation

Are you an experienced and proactive farm manager looking for your next big opportunity?

A well-established, progressive farming business in Lincolnshire is seeking a driven and strategic Farm Manager to lead day-to-day operations across a diverse, large-scale arable and root crop enterprise. Managing over 5,000 acres, the business supplies a wide range of crops - including potatoes, brassicas, cereals, sugar beet, and maize - to major UK retailers through both conventional and organic systems.

This is a rare opportunity to join a forward-thinking, family-run business where your input will shape both current operations and future strategy. You'll be working closely with senior leadership, managing multiple sites and leading a team through seasonal peaks and year-round operations.

The Role

This hands-on leadership position involves overseeing the full farming cycle - from planning to harvest - while managing a strong team and ensuring compliance with agronomic standards. Your time will be split between two key operational hubs in the Boston area.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead crop planning and production across a wide arable and vegetable portfolio

  • Coordinate crop health monitoring, nutrient and irrigation strategies, and harvest operations

  • Manage a full-time team of operators and seasonal workers

  • Work closely with agronomists to implement best practice crop care

  • Oversee machinery use and maintenance with support from the mechanical team

  • Contribute to strategic planning, operational efficiency, and yield improvement

  • Maintain a strong, visible leadership presence across all farm operations

What We're Looking For

  • Experience in arable or mixed cropping (potatoes, cereals or vegetables is an advantage)

  • Confident team leader with experience managing both full-time and seasonal staff

  • Strong understanding of farm machinery and modern cultivation techniques

  • BASIS and/or FACTS qualifications are beneficial but not essential

  • A proactive mindset, ready to challenge the status quo and suggest improvements

  • Committed to long-term development in a supportive, family business environment

What's on Offer

  • Competitive salary package (DOE)

  • Company vehicle

  • Quality accommodation options available

  • Opportunity to influence the future of a respected farming operation

Location: Lincolnshire - Multi-site role based within 15 miles of Boston
