Job Duties:

We own and operate a 4,500-acre corn and soybean row crop operation, along with approximately 100 acres of alfalfa. The operation is seasonal because we only need additional help in the spring to plant our crops. We need extra help in the summer to bale hay and assist with fertilizing and spraying our crops. Then in the fall, we require assistance to bring the harvest in from the field and deliver it to elevators and our bin site. We don't need any extra help in the winter because there is no field work to be done. Job duties will include preparing fields for planting, attaching farm implements such as plows, discs, sprayers, or harvesters to tractors using bolts and hand tools, operating tractors and planters, sprayers, and other farm equipment. Employees will engage in planting, weeding, spraying, and/or harvesting activities, fertilizing, dusting, and spraying crops, spraying fertilizer or pesticide solutions to control insects, fungus, weed growth, and diseases using hand sprayers, loading and unloading crops or materials manually or using conveyors, hand trucks, forklifts, or transfer augers.
