## About

```text
At John Wilson, I maintain and repair John Deere tractors, combines, planter implements, fertilizer rigs, and spray equipment to support field operations. I also operate grain carts during corn harvesting and mix and load agricultural chemicals.

At Bill Poole / J&P Farms, I operated machinery for sugarcane and rice planting, field maintenance, and harvesting. I also supported crawfish pond maintenance and harvesting, irrigation, and repairs to water-pump engines.

At Jan Eksteen / Alpine Farms, I operated agricultural spray drones and planned GPS-guided missions for fertilizer and pesticide application. I calibrated spray systems, inspected equipment, and followed chemical-handling and farm-safety requirements.
