The employer will provide the tools necessary to do these jobs without cost to the employee. The employee will be required to pick the smaller produce in buckets that will be transported for sorting and marketing. The larger produce such as cantaloupe, watermelon, and pumpkins will be picked then tossed to the next employee until its placed on a truck or wagon. This required bending and lifting up to a 50-pound melon and tossing it to the next person. Workers also perform the post-harvest clean up in the fields, whether that's removing the plastic from the plant beds, the t-tape used to water them, or in the case of the tomatoes , removing the stakes used to support the plants. Pruning the fruit trees will be done as well as caring for bedding plants in the greenhouses, both early and late in the season.
