Carlo Mottola

Dear Madam/Sir, 

My name is Carlo, I am a 51 yo British male with 13 years experience in livestock husbandry and general farming. I am interested in joining your farm. The skills I have developed and understanding of a farm's requirements, make me your ideal candidate. I have experience in working with cows, both dairy and beef, pigs, horses and sheep. Also I have experience in driving and maintaining most agricultural vehicles equipped with a wide variety of utensils. I hold a full and clean UK driving license. I am confident that my experience, character and eagerness to learn will be a valuable asset to your organization. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future to discuss how my qualifications can meet your requirements. 

For your convenience I attach my resume.

Sincerely, 

Carlo S Mottola  

2010  to 2012 Madrenatura srl

Based in Anguillara Sabazia (Rome, IT), Madrenatura is a small general farm with husbandry (cows, pigs and horses), crop growing (Wheat, Corn etc) as well as nursery for domestic plants and flowers. As my first experience in farming my responsibilities were in assisting the herd management, tractor drivers and general farm maintenance.

2012 to 2020 Lorelei Farm

Opened and managed my own farm in Salonta (Romania). The farm began as a pig farm and transitioned to all meats farm when I opened  my first butchery, thus maximizing the farms profitability by cutting through the sales chain and accessing directly the consumer. As the farm grew I included dairy production with 48 heads of varied race and in 2017 opened the a store in the local town for the sale of our dairy products. The farm had 27 ha of land of which 13 ha were destined as pasture and 14 to  crops. Of the 14ha arable land 8 ha were destined to grazing during winter months.

As owner and manager of the farm and stores  I had a 360 degree hands on and supervision approach which has given me a broad knowledge and understanding of the synergies of farming and its commercial activities

In 2020 I sold the farm and stores and relocated to Ukraine.

2020 to 2022 Villa Vitullam

In 2020  I acquired a farm on the outskirts of Kharkiv (UA) where I began  dairy farming with 40 heads of varied race. The farm was comprised of 2 barns and 2 ha of land. I subsequently negotiated a 20 year lease of 50 ha of  grazing land, far more than was required but allowed me to cut and bale approximately 25% of the farms hay requirement at a minimal cost. 

In 2021 I opened a dairy products store in Kharkiv where our dairy products were sold.

The farm and store were closed in March 2022 due to the war.

2022 Ferma Horia

In June 2022, I moved to Romania where I worked at Ferma Horia,  The farm has 300+ dairy cattle heads, varying number of calves,  50 pigs and 700 Romanov sheep. I was responsible for feeding  both cattle and sheep, analyzing milking records and maintenance of the milking robot.. Milking was done in a robotized Lely milking parlor.

2023 (February 1st to March 28th) Hinxden Farm Dairy

In 2023 I left my previous position at Ferma Horia to join Hinxden Farm Dairy. The farm has 400 dairy cattle head (Guernsey and Holstein) where I was responsible for milking and cleaning. Milking was done in a Lavall 24 head milking parlor..
