Introduction to Farm Hand

Training for Saskatchewan farms

Are you interested in working on a farm but didn’t grow up on one? Do you have a farming operation with new employees who need introductory training?

The Farm Hand course provides the basic skills for work during the busy spring season. Participants will get hands-on training needed to work on a grain farm in Saskatchewan.

Training may be eligible for the Canada-Saskatchewan Job Grant and the Re-Open Saskatchewan Training Subsidy.

This three-day course will cover:

• Basic farm safety
• Overview of field crops
• Introduction to selected pieces of farm equipment
• Safe work practices for moving equipment in and around work sites
• Power Mobile Equipment theory

Important Notes:

• Participants are required to have steel-toed boots, work gloves and safety glasses.
• Please dress appropriately for outdoors.
• Bring a copy of a valid driver’s licence on the first day of the course.
• We recommend you take a First Aid/CPR/AED course if you are not already certified. (First Aid/CPR A/AED training will be available in Melville – dates TBD; Fee: $180 per person)
• Please bring you own lunch, snacks, and water.
