D & B Karg Farms is a 5th-generation, family-owned cash crop farm located between Harbor Beach and Bad Axe, MI. We raise sugar beets, edible beans, corn, and wheat - and we take a lot of pride in doing things the right way. From maintaining clean, well-kept equipment to focusing on efficient crop production practices, our goal is simple: grow high-quality crops and treat people well along the way.
We’re currently looking for a full-time, experienced Farm Equipment Operator to join our operation and be part of the entire crop production cycle - from spring fieldwork through fall harvest and winter shop season.
This is a long-term opportunity for someone who enjoys production agriculture, takes pride in their work, and wants to be part of a family-run farm where what you do truly matters.

- Fertilizer and pesticide application
- Field preparation
- Row crop harvest (corn, wheat, sugar beets, dry beans)
- Grain hauling and commodity transport
- Equipment maintenance, preventative service, and winter shop repairs
- Assisting with general farm operations as needed
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience operating farm equipment in a row crop setting
- Understanding of modern crop production practices
- Experience with GPS guidance or precision ag technology is a plus
- Mechanically inclined with farm shop experience preferred
- Dependable, self-motivated, and willing to work extended hours during planting and harvest
What You Can Expect
- Competitive pay based on experience
- Flexible hours during slower seasons
- Longer days during peak planting and harvest
- Winter months focused on equipment maintenance and shop work
- A stable, multigenerational farming operation that values hard work and loyalty
