The single greatest challenged I faced and overcame was either learning how to drive the tractor or combine, or learning how to run the tractor or combine, such as what every button and switch actually does and what it means. I simply just asked my dad what each button did and what it means and then he showed me. Overtime as I learned how to drive the tractor. I just kept taking my time and getting a feel for everything and how fast I could go doing a certain thing and still be efficient and not out of control. I asked what everything did and how to use it. I just practiced and over time I get better at it. As I learned better to drive the tractor I also practiced what switch to use in a certain situation. I just kept practicing and here I am today.
ReplyDeleteThe greatest challenge I have faced in working at pioneer would be working with different diseases that appear in the corn. My first year at pioneer I seen the weird growth on the corn and then learned that it was head smut, then learning that there are two different kinds of head smut finding out that one kind of head smut is just from hail and other damage and some smut can ruin the corn and needs to be burned off and is very dangerous. Being a leader I have had to learn the differences between the different smuts and if it is the bad kind I have had to learn to treat it so that it does not become worse. When I continue my degree I think I will learn more about head smut so I will already be a little ahead of the game.
ReplyDeleteThe greatest challenge i have faced was leaning how to operate equipment without my dad or grandpas help. Like planting corn the only way i learned was asked questions and got in and drove with my dad right beside me pick at everything i did one round with my dad and he was gone and on my own planting the farms future crop was in my hands and if Is screwed up it was going to be my but there were many things that ran through your head like was it planting was a row plugged was it putting on fertilizer or the right amount these things ran through my head every time I ran the planter. the combine was the same way things just running through my head worrying about something was happening that I didn't know or see like if it was just dropping corn right on the ground or it was catching on fire or something wasn't just working but now going through all that now its just like riding a bike you never forget what to watch and when something happens I know how to fix it.
ReplyDeleteWorking with people i dont like so i guess communication skills.
ReplyDeleteThe hardest thing on my job is getting up early in the morning and loading hogs. It is literal hell on earth. I sometimes contemplate killing the pigs myself. Instead of letting the butchers take care of it. I swear the things I do just for you people, just to give you guys bacon! Anyway I digress.
ReplyDeleteI believe that the hugest challenge up ever had overcome is just not having the knowledge to go about doing everyday things with cattle and in general.. I have now learned a lot and so I think I've kind of overcome it but I still have a lot to learn and I think that in the future if I do become feedlot management or other typeposition that I will be able to overcome a lot of other challenges that I may face in the future
