March Talent Partners is a specialist agricultural recruitment consultancy. We provide broadacre recruitment across Australia, placing permanent talent from operational and supervisory roles through to farm managers and regional managers.
Broadacre sits alongside horticulture, livestock, and cotton as one of the four sectors we work in. Seasonal and labour-hire roles fall outside what we do. The managers and operators we place run wheat, barley, canola, sorghum, and mixed dryland and irrigated systems. We work from Brisbane and search nationally – wherever the property is.
Broadacre operations come to us for placements at every level, from the operational and supervisory people who run the day-to-day to the managers accountable for the result. We also recruit broadacre Agronomists.
These are the roles we're briefed on most across grain and mixed farming operations.
Operations: Senior Farm Hand, Cropping Operator, Farm Mechanic.
Management: Assistant Farm Manager, Cropping Manager, Aggregation Manager, Farm Manager, Regional Manager.
An Aggregation Manager can sit above multiple Farm Managers in larger operations; in smaller operations the Farm Manager runs the program directly.
We recruit across Australia's major broadacre regions, including the WA Wheatbelt, Darling Downs, Riverina, northern NSW slopes and plains, the Mallee and Wimmera, and South Australia's Eyre Peninsula and Mid North.
The crops change with the rainfall and the soil: wheat, barley, canola, sorghum, and chickpeas, grown dryland in some districts and under irrigation in others. The candidate pool clusters by district and by system. The managers who run large dryland programs in the Mallee tend to know each other, and they know who runs the irrigated country on the Downs. We brief each search to the region and the farming system behind it.
The challenge in a broadacre search is finding managers who can run increasingly complex cropping programs at scale. Most experienced broadacre managers are already employed, and demand continues to grow across family-owned enterprises, corporate farming groups and institutional landowners.
Modern broadacre operations require more than machinery and agronomy knowledge. Managers are expected to oversee large teams, significant machinery fleets, technology platforms and multi-property programs, often across thousands of hectares.
We follow this market because we work in it, and we publish what we see in our insights.
Most successful broadacre placements begin long before a role reaches the market. The people we're ultimately hired to recruit are usually already employed.
Our role is to understand the market, identify who is performing well, and engage candidates directly when the right opportunity emerges.
Every broadacre placement is permanent. Our consultants recruit exclusively in agriculture. Learn more about them on our about page.
