Job Duties:

Workers will perform assign duties as instructed by their supervisor. Harvesting Sweet Potato period: The worker will grade and pick each sweet potato up from the ground and place into a 5/8-bushel bucket that will be given at the beginning of the harvest season. There are 2 types of sweet potato grades that require harvesting at once which are number 1’s (large potato) and seed (small potato’s). The worker must first select number 1’s placing them in a 5/8-bushel bucket, once the bucket is completely full, the worker will take the bucket to the front of the truck and another worker will dump the sweet potatoes in a box on the truck. A small ticket will be given to the harvesting worker to keep and a total will be counted at the end of each day. The workers will then go back to the picking area where they left off and do this process a few more times until there is enough to begin filling up the bucket with seed sweet potato. Once the bucket is completely full of seed sweet potato the worker will take the bucket to the back of the truck and another worker will dump the bucket into a box. The worker will go back to his picking area and fill his bucket up with number 1 sweet potato and do the entire process again until there is enough seed to fill up a bucket. Sweet potato must be placed in the buckets gently so they do not scar or bruise. If the buckets are not completely full then they will not be accepted. Some workers may need to help unload the sweet potato boxes off the truck and be placed in the sweet potato house using a forklift.
