When I took this position, I did not expect to be thrown into the work so quickly. I did not have much experience with hay production before I started this job, and I was thrown into the fire. I believe it helped me in the long run with the sharpness of my skills now. I lack in areas such as coworker judgment, meaning I need to understand them better. I will spend time with them and hopefully gain more knowledge on how they operate. I also lack patience and pace. I want to get things done fast, and I wanna do them in the most efficient way possible. Sometimes that just isn't achievable.
As I move forward with this job, I hope to use my critical thinking skills and be able to work myself out of tough situations. I also hope to use my ability to get the job done even if I'm short on time, help, resources, and anything else to holds me back. This week, I had a few setbacks already, and I have had to improvise and get the job done. Thankfully, if I have any problems or setbacks, my farm manager, C.J., is always willing to help and has extensive knowledge on the work being done. He has helped me through many obstacles already, and I look forward to increasing my knowledge on the farm through him. To further my knowledge on the farm in my own time, I hope to attend some classes and auctions to understand what all other farmers are doing in similar situations. I also would love to go to some shows and expos to see what the newest and best ideas are out on the market. Finally, I hope to be able to learn through trial and error myself to make the best out of any situation I'm in.
