Job Duties:

Corn harvesting will be performed mule train style in crews of approximately 20 pullers. Workers will be pulling sweet corn off the stalk and tossing into a metal bin on the mule train. Workers will walk behind, in front of, or drive the mule train. Workers must keep up with the mule train as it moves slowly through the field at a speed ranging from½ mile to one mile per hour. Assemble boxes/crates on the top of the mule train. Packers will pick corn out of the bins and place 48 ears into pre-made crates. Packed crates are then moved to workers who will fold and close the lid of the crates and push them down the conveyor belt system. Loaders will then lift and stack the full crates of corn onto the truck. Count and check the crates as they are loaded onto truck. Maintain daily log of hours and record number of harvested boxes. Corn is harvested in the early morning hours starting before daylight, while temperatures are cooler. This ensures that the sugar content of the corn is higher and provides a better-quality product. A generator powered lighting system is used during early morning hours. Workers will avoid harvesting ears of corn with discolored husks, unacceptable shanks {longer than 6 inches) or visible worm damage. Sweet corn must be harvested by pulling down while bending and reaching to select mature ears. Workers must carefully select ears of corn of correct size and maturity and toss into bin. Workers with a valid CDL may operate trucks to transport corn and be offered additional hours. In addition, greens, sweet corn, green beans, and cabbage will be harvested, graded, cultivated, and packed in boxes manually by hand and machine. Cabbage Produce may be harvested and field packed. Cabbage that is not field packed will be cut using a knife, put on conveyor belt, cored, and dropped into bin. Workers will harvest leafy greens according to supervisor's instructions by walking down assigned row and cutting leafy greens with a sharp knife.
