Sam, how long did it take for you to get a " job " with the Farmer Assist program, I have applied a couple of times with no response and am just about to give up
Yep i'm thinking the howa is going to be the one. Cheap and i have a good scope for it happy days.
As for the Farmer assist the first one took about 4 weeks, then they just flow on from there.
I find with initial contact you basically have to sell your skills and put the farmer at ease. Just from what I have come accross mate.
I now have 2 properties in the Longreach region, heading out at Xmas for a week. Also just picked one up out at St George and going there on the 27Th of this month. You will find most of the farmers in the Longreach, Barcaldine regions know each other and once you get one, they all want to use your services so to speak. Be persistent, maybe change your approach on what you write when you first apply for the "job " Don't be put off and apply to as many as you can get to.
Hope that helps
