Employees will engage in planting, weeding, cultivating, spraying, and harvesting; apply fertilizer and pesticides using both equipment and hand sprayers; load and unload crops or materials manually or with conveyors, forklifts, hand trucks, or transfer augers; and load hoppers, containers, and conveyors using augers, suction gates, shovels, or pitchforks. Duties also include monitoring machinery, adjusting controls, detecting malfunctions, weighing and recording crop loads, attaching equipment extensions, hauling crops and supplies with pickup trucks, and performing routine maintenance and repairs on equipment, vehicles, and farm structures such as buildings and fences. Additional responsibilities include transporting animals, crops, and equipment; cleaning stalls, pens, and facilities; maintaining yards and fences; operating trucks over three tons, including tractor-trailers, to transport products and livestock; inspecting loads and trailers; performing basic vehicle maintenance; using communication and GPS equipment; reporting vehicle issues; and monitoring, filling, and unloading grain storage facilities such as grain bins and corn cribs.
