Job Duties:

Due to seasonal changes in North Dakota, our farm operations are strictly seasonal in nature. In early spring, we prepare farm machinery for fieldwork and begin readying our corrals for calving. By late spring, we are actively planting soybeans and corn. During the summer months, we complete haying, check pastures, and perform general maintenance. In the fall, we harvest soybeans and corn while also working and weaning cattle. Throughout the busy seasons, employees assist with light to moderate mechanical maintenance as needed. When winter arrives, fieldwork stops, and we handle the limited cattle work personally. This position is seasonal because our workload depends on calving, planting, growing, and harvest cycles that occur only during specific times of the year. Our operation begins calving in mid-April, and we require H-2A workers to arrive before that time to prepare corrals and facilities. During spring and early summer, employees help with calving and caring for young calves. By mid-summer, cattle are moved to pasture, where employees assist with checking livestock, repairing fences, making hay, and other duties. In late fall, cattle are brought back to the farm for weaning. Once H-2A workers complete their seasonal employment, we handle the remaining winter cattle feeding ourselves. Job duties include preparing fields for planting; attaching farm implements such as plows, discs, sprayers, or harvesters to tractors using bolts and hand tools; operating tractors, planters, sprayers, seed drills, manure spreaders, combines, irrigation equipment, and other farm machinery; engaging in planting, weeding, spraying, cultivating, and harvesting activities; loading and unloading crops or materials manually or using conveyors, forklifts, transfer augers, or hand trucks; loading hoppers, containers, or conveyors to feed machines with products using forklifts, augers, suction gates, shovels, or pitchforks; manipulating controls to set, activate, and adjust equipment mechanisms; observing and listening to machinery during operation to detect malfunctions; driving farm semi-trucks to haul crops, supplies, and tools; inspecting, adjusting, and performing routine maintenance and repairs on equipment; updating cattle records as needed; inspecting, examining, and diagnosing mechanical and electrical equipment to identify damage, defects, or malfunctions; disassembling and cleaning defective machinery or parts using hand and machine tools; installing, repairing, and maintaining farm machinery, vehicles, irrigation systems, plumbing, and sprinkler systems; tuning, overhauling, or adjusting engines and equipment to ensure optimal performance; lubricating, cleaning, and reassembling equipment following repair and testing operations for proper function; and driving trucks and moving large objects to transport tools, equipment, or machinery to and from repair sites.
