Job Duties:

Workers will perform duties associated with the operation of a row crop farm, including corn, soybeans, and small grains. Tasks include field cultivation, row preparation, planting, fertilizing, spraying, irrigating, harvesting, loading and unloading trucks, and transporting product to market. Workers may operate tractors and power equipment such as sprayers and transplanters, drive farm-use trucks, and assist with general farm maintenance and sanitation. Additional responsibilities include applying fertilizers and pesticides (EPA, OSHA, WPS approved), weeding crops by hand, hoe, or behind mechanical equipment, operating and maintaining grain bin facilities, moving hay bales with tractors, and performing preventative maintenance on farm equipment. Other duties include cleaning equipment, cutting grass, bush hogging, maintaining ditches, performing general grounds maintenance and minor building repairs, feeding and herding livestock, and removing animal waste. Workers must be physically fit, able to lift up to 100 lbs consistently, and work in extreme weather conditions ranging from below 30°F to over 100°F. Tasks require prolonged standing, bending, stooping, and kneeling. The worker may be requested but not required to work 12-14 hours per day and/or on the Sabbath or Federal holidays depending upon the conditions in the fields, weather, and maturity of the crop. The employer will designate time for breaks and lunch. All workers (H-2A and U.S.) are subject to the same terms. Work may be requested—but not required—on Sundays or Federal holidays depending on crop maturity and weather. Hours may be reduced during periods of inclement weather, drought, or crop delays. The employer guarantees 40 hours per week, weather and crop conditions permitting. Workers are expected to report to work as directed and must commit to the full contract period. Raises and/or bonuses may be offered to any seasonal worker employed pursuant to this job order, at the company's sole discretion, based on individual factors including work performance, skill, and tenure. Must have legal authority to work in the US. Must be able to lift & carry up to 100lbs. Workers may be required to take random, post-accident, and/or upon suspicion drug test at no cost to worker, post hire. Testing positive or failure to comply may result in immediate termination from employment. Workers may operate tractors up to 250 hp with implements as well as loader tractors, and tillage equipment. Workers must be willing and able to perform all assigned duties across all crops and livestock. Random, post-accident, or suspicion-based drug testing may be required post-hire at no cost to the worker. A non-smoking policy is enforced on the farm premises. This is a high-performance work environment. Poor quality or incomplete work will not be tolerated. Workers must be able to detect and report equipment issues, maintain safety protocols, and follow operational guidelines. Row crop farming duties include preparing the land for planting by tilling, plowing, and leveling fields; operating tractors and other agricultural machinery; planting seeds in uniform rows; and applying fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides to promote healthy crop growth. Farmers monitor crop development, manage irrigation systems, and regularly inspect fields for pests or disease. As the crop matures, workers assist in harvesting using both mechanized and manual methods, followed by sorting, storing, and transporting the yield. Additional tasks often involve maintaining equipment, repairing fencing, and performing general farm upkeep to ensure a productive growing season. If an updated AEWR for the occupational classification and geographic area is published in the Federal Register during the work contract, and the updated AEWR is lower than the rate guaranteed on the job order, the employer must continue to pay at least the rate guaranteed on the job order.
