Damien Du Plessis
Originally from George, South Africa, Damien has been working for Berning Farms since 2022. Currently, he is responsible for trucking, mowing, helping with harvest, and anything else that comes his way. After finishing secondary school in South Africa, Damien worked in the maintenance industry prior to his employment on the farm. Among his many talents, he is known for his ability to balance an irrigation pipe trailer perfectly better than anyone else on the farm.
His favorite activity is helping with the silage harvest and hauling the chopped silage to the feedlots with the live bottom trailers. He is interested in gaining more mechanical knowledge and taking on large complex repair projects in the future. When he is not at work, he enjoys spending time with his parents and is a “happy go lucky” kind of guy. He has a bucket list item of watching a F1 Grand Prix in Monaco one day and enjoys playing Call of Duty on his PlayStation in his spare time.
