Crop Farm Manager

About Course

A productive crop farm needs more than a planting plan. Someone must organise the work, monitor what is happening in the field and respond when conditions change. That is the role of a crop farm manager.

This course introduces learners to the practical work of managing crop production. They will practise planning a crop cycle, organising labour and inputs, supervising field activities, monitoring crop health, keeping farm records and preparing for harvest. They will also learn how to spot problems early and make decisions that protect yield, quality and costs.
The course is designed for aspiring farm managers, farm supervisors and agribusiness employees responsible for day-to-day crop operations.
