Workers will use muscles to lift, push, pull, or carry heavy objects in loading and unloading trucks, equipment, or materials. Workers may drive trucks to haul crops, supplies, tools, or farm workers. All the tasks in this job description constitute one (1) job; the employer may assign workers to different tasks on any day or to multiple tasks during the same day in the sole judgment of the employer. Workers may be required to perform work on the farm that is incidental to producing the crops such as performing hand weeding or hoeing, greenhouse cleaning, repairing buildings, maintaining grounds, operate tractor/farm equipment, operate farm vehicles, incidental crop setup when needed, and movement of irrigation systems and equipment, gardening, cleaning around ponds & fields with bush axe and/or sling blade to clear right of ways for machinery to enter work zones, etc. Cover crops such as oats and clover are sewn after crop harvest to prepare the soil for next year’s production. This is a very demanding and competitive business in which quality specifications must be rigorously adhered to. Sloppy work cannot and will not be tolerated. Seven to eight hours per day is normal. Workers may be offered more than the specified work in a single day. 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.

These requirements pertain to both H-2A and US workers. Extreme heat, cold or drought may affect working hours. Employer will offer 40 hours/week, weather and crop conditions permitting. Workers will report to work at designated time and place as directed by employer each day.

As a general matter, working hours will be divided between duties related to crops of vegetables, fruits, flowers & herbs depending on the employer’s needs. Given that the demands of agricultural production are unpredictable and determined by factors to include weather, crop conditions, market demands and seasonal task needs and numerous other factors, it is impossible to predict with any degree of accuracy the percentage of time that will be dedicated to any specific task.
