Job Duties:

Crops/Commodities: Sweet Corn Primary duties (performed the majority of workdays): Workers will perform manual agricultural labor primarily related to the harvesting, grading and field packing of sweet corn. Duties include hand-harvesting mature ears of sweet corn by walking through fields and repeatedly bending, stooping, kneeling, and reaching to grasp, snap, and remove ears from stalks. Harvested corn will be placed or tossed into containers, bags, trailers, or conveyors. Workers will sort and grade corn in the field based on size, maturity, and quality; trim husks as needed; pack corn into boxes, crates, or bulk containers; and remove damaged or diseased ears. Primary duties also include loading and unloading harvested corn, stacking or arranging packed containers, securing loads when required and transporting produce short distances within the field or to field packing areas. After packaging, workers may inspect packed sweet corn and containers to ensure proper count, weight, quality, labeling, and overall condition, and may remove or repackage products that do not meet quality standards. Secondary duties (performed on less than half of the workdays in the contract period): Workers may perform duties incidental to the farming operation including hand-weeding or hoeing, removing crop debris, pulling stalks after harvest, maintaining field sanitation, and assisting with irrigation-related tasks such as laying, removing, or repairing irrigation lines. Workers may use simple hand tools such as knives, clippers, hoes, and shovels and may assist equipment operators.

Workers will be expected to perform any of the listed duties and work on any crop as assigned by the worker's supervisor.

Workers will be expected to conform to the specific instructions given for each day's work.
