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.

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
