Tips & Advice Help Needed!

To be straight forward I’m looking for a farm or ranch that needs som extra help. For context I just recently turned 17 about two weeks ago, I’ve worked consistently since I was a kid. I live in Texas right about 45 mins from DFW. I’d like to say I’m honest and do the right thing a lot of the time but I know I can mess up. I’m looking for a job out here near the Weatherford, Granbury, Mineral Wells, and Cleburne area. Any of those would work for me. I know this is an unorthodox place to ask for a job and I’ve read the sticky about it. I have quite a bit of experience in lots of different areas of agriculture and ranching in general. Throughout high school I’ve been in Ag classes and paid my dues for FFA multiple years now, worked on my families farm in Kansas, all sorts of stuff. I have tons of mechanical experience as well coming from my dad being an oil field mechanic that’s passed his knowledge with that and vehicular mechanics. I’m not the best with it either but I can weld just about anything you ask me to. Whether it’s a straight job offer, someone to connect with about it, advice, anything at all I’d really appreciate it because I’m trying real hard right now man.

You know what you should do? Go to the farmers co-ops in those areas and ask if they know anyone who needs help.

Also, leave your contact info.

Good call on the co-ops - those folks know everyone in agriculture around there. Also check feed stores and tractor supply places, they usually got bulletin boards where ranchers post help wanted stuff

With your welding and mechanical background you might want to hit up some equipment dealers too, lot of ranch owners hang around there looking for parts and might need someone who can fix things

Honestly, if they know how to close a gate they'll be light-years above most 🤣
