Agriculture Cover Letter
Experience tends to be a strong point when applying for many
agriculture related positions, particularly if you are applying for a
supervisory or management position.
Therefore, it’s a good idea to make sure your cover letter
highlights your best qualifications, including
relevant
experience. The sample agriculture cover letter below does
this very well.
As with any cover letter, it’s also important to make sure
you let the employer know how you learned of the open position. If it
was through a classified advertisement, go ahead and state that up
front in your opening paragraph.

Dear Mr. Jenkins:
In response to your recent advertisement in the Kenosha Chronicle,
please accept this letter and resume in application for the dairy
supervisor position. My resume is enclosed for your
consideration.
My resume describes my specific responsibilities at Horton Dairy and my
capabilities in the areas of training and supervision, working with
animals and repairing machinery. However, I would also like
to mention that my experience with dairy farming dates back to
childhood when I spent summers working at my uncle's farm.
Atthat time I was an active member of the 4-H Society, and some of the
cows I raised won blue ribbons.
After a brief period trying another trade (construction), I realized
that my heart was in dairy farming. I am eager to continue
progressing in the field and believe I would be an asset to Jenkins
Dairy as the supervisor.
I hope to have the opportunity to talk with you soon. If I
have not heard from you by the end of next week, I will contact you.
Sincerely,
Jeremy Lake

Notice in the above sample agriculture cover letter how the applicant
mentions not only his prior work experience but also his experience
with 4-H. This, along with the applicant’s admission that he
has
worked in another field but found it lacking,
demonstrates his true passion for the field.
The applicant summarizes the cover letter by letting the employer know
that he will be in touch within a few days if he has not heard from the
employer by that time. This lets the employer know how interested the
applicant is in the position and also that he is willing to take
initiative - a good quality for a prospective supervisor.
Looking at other examples such as a
senior
architect cover letter is always a good idea.
