Farmhand

Oasis Homestead is hiring for the Farmhand position in Senatobia, MS. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Check and care for assigned livestock, water, feed, fences, gates, corrals, and ranch facilities. • Assist with safe livestock movement, pasture work, equipment use, repairs, and seasonal ranch projects as trained. • Communicate animal-health, water, fence, weather, predator, equipment, or safety concerns without delay. • Care for cattle, goats, chickens, livestock guardian dogs, and dairy animals while checking feed, water, fencing, gates, bedding, and general animal condition across the farm's Tate County properties. • Help with row crops, hand-planted and hand-picked produce, fruit trees, hay, planting, harvesting, mowing, and small construction or repair projects as the season and livestock needs change. • Use shovels, rakes, pitchforks, wheelbarrows, push mowers, string trimmers, and other assigned farm tools safely, then clean and return them and report supply, fence, crop, animal, or equipment problems. How the work fits together The day begins with livestock, water, and security checks, because those observations determine the rest of the work. The employee then completes feeding, moves, repairs, pasture or equipment tasks, and facility cleanup in the manager's priority order. Gates, animals, tools, and vehicles are accounted for at every transition. At Oasis Homestead, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Care for cattle, goats, chickens, livestock guardian dogs, and dairy animals while checking feed, water, fencing, gates, bedding, and general animal condition across the farm's Tate County properties.

What the employer is looking for • Applicants must be at least 18, live within 25 miles of Senatobia, have reliable transportation to the headquarters east of town, and hold a valid driver's license with a clean driving record for travel among local farm properties. • No farm experience is required, although familiarity is useful. The work requires a compatible smartphone, dependable weekend and holiday attendance, and ability to bend, work in rain, heat, or winter cold, and lift 50 pounds safely. • Dependable attendance, direct communication, and willingness to follow the employer's safety, quality, and customer- or production-care procedures. • Ability to complete the role's active, in-person work and to ask for instruction before using unfamiliar tools, equipment, products, or animal-handling methods. Schedule, conditions, and compensation This is year-round, primarily outdoor work with part-time to full-time hours. Weekends and holidays are mandatory, and start or end times change with the season and farm needs; the earliest listed start is 5:00 a.m. and the latest possible finish is 10:00 p.m. Pay is based on experience, and the farm says a first increase may be possible after 90 days. Candidates should discuss the expected weekly schedule, travel among properties, mileage treatment, and current starting rate during the interview. The employer does not publish a numeric wage range on this page, so no compensation has been estimated. Applicants should confirm the final hours, overtime treatment, starting assignment, travel or reporting point, supplied equipment, and benefit eligibility directly with the employer before accepting an offer. This is an in-person agricultural and animal-care position with a small operation. Daily priorities can change with weather, plant or animal condition, equipment availability, customer schedules, and the season.

Applicants should expect active work that may include long periods of standing or walking, bending, lifting, repetitive hand tasks, noise, dust, mud, pollen, heat, cold, rain, or work around moving equipment. The exact physical demands differ by assignment. Candidates should discuss any accommodation needs with the employer and confirm the final schedule, overtime treatment, training period, travel expectations, and benefit eligibility before accepting an offer.
