Experienced Farm and Ranch Hand

I am 20 years old and currently located in Kansas. I grew up farming corn and soybeans in Iowa, then moved to Wyoming to raise cow/calf and farm hay, and then moved to Kansas to farm corn and potatoes and background cattle. I am proficient in most of the jobs associated with growing corn, soybeans, alfalfa, winter rye, and potatoes. I can work, process, monitor, treat, and feed stockers and cow/calf cattle. I maintain equipment and handle livestock low-stress. I am looking for an operation in Southern Iowa or Northern Missouri. Ideally would like to run some of my own cattle as a part of my compensation. Currently employed, looking to see what's out there. Message for more information. Thanks!
