About the role Farmers with Halter are writing the playbook for a world-first farming system, paving a new way of managing their land and animals, unlocking more productive and sustainable uses of the world's agricultural land along with driving optimal profitability outcomes. Halter helps farmers to grow more grass and graze their land more efficiently while driving mating performance and monitoring every cow 24/7. Halter farmers don't need to get up at 4am to get the cows in, put up a fence, measure pasture, or detect heats… they do all of this automatically and more proactively through the Halter App. They can schedule their mobs to meet them at the dairy for milking, run as many mobs as they want, and allocate precisely the right amount of feed. Welcome to farming with Halter We are searching for a tenacious sales hunter to lead Halter's expansion in the North Otago market.
