- The passion for the agriculture environment. To be a farmer.
- The theoretical understanding of the vehicles used on a farm. It is not just about the ability to be able to drive a tractor. You need to know how to:
- identify potential mechanical or safety issues on the vehicle
- how to perform “prechecks”
- perform maintenance and lubrication where required – such as replacing oils and filters
- how to safely operate the vehicle.
- Practical experience
- Balanced attitude and behaviour – conflict happens, the difference in opinions, accidents – how do you handle these situations?
Ultimately: Understand and respect the ultimate goal a farmer wants and needs to achieve – and work as a team to achieve it
Competence – Do you have what it take to be successful?
