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.
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.|

232Wilkshire Lane Kenosha, WI 55555 555-555-1212 November 21, 2007 Mr. Howard Jenkins Jenkins Dairy 2360 Sparrow Lane Kenosha, WI 55555 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 Enclosure: Resume |

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.
