Must be able to lift 50 lbs. consistently on a daily basis. The workers will be working on property at the Nursery. Overtime required as necessary. Hours may vary based on weather conditions. No other work will be performed at off-site locations. Under the FLSA, the planting of trees and bushes is within the scope of agriculture where it constitutes a step in the production, cultivation, growing, and harvesting of agricultural or horticultural commodities, or where it constitutes a practice performed by a farmer or on a farm as an incident to or in conjunction with farming operations. Thus, employees of the nurseryman who raised such nursery stock are doing agricultural work where they plant the stock on private or public property, trim, spray, brace, and treat the planted stock, or perform other duties incidental to its care and preservation. All trees and shrubs being installed off of farm property have been grown, cultivated and harvested on Moon Valley farm/nursery properties, which is their primary business. The workers will not perform landscaping duties. Emergency Filing Justification: We respectfully request a waiver of the standard H-2A filing timeline under 20 CFR 655.134 due to an emergency situation that constitutes good and substantial cause. Our operation is facing an urgent and unforeseen labor shortage that threatens the viability of our nursery production for the current season. Due to unexpected delays in the housing process and inspection, we are filing later than anticipated. Without this emergency waiver, we will be unable to meet customer expectations. This situation is wholly outside of our control and was not foreseeable at the time we would have normally filed our application.
