Farm worker in French

Search for ouvrier agricole, ouvrier agricole polyvalent, agent de culture, ouvrier d'élevage, vacher or salarié agricole. For seasonal work, search for vendanges, cueillette or saisonnier agricole. Diplomas are not compulsory for most farm worker jobs, but the CAPa Métiers de l'agriculture, the Bac pro CGEA and the BPREA are the usual French qualifications. The Certiphyto certificate is required to use plant protection products professionally, and CACES certificates may be needed for some machines. Farm workers are covered by the MSA, the agricultural social security scheme, rather than the general one. Workers from outside the European Union need a work permit, often a seasonal one, before taking a job.
