- Offer description:
SS Farms engages in seeding, planting, cultivating, and harvesting row crops, including corn, soybeans, and wheat. Additionally, SS Farms manages a herd of 250 head of bred cattle. The peak agricultural season necessitates a substantial increase in labor to meet the demands of planting, cultivation, harvesting, and livestock care. Despite our best efforts to recruit and retain local workers, we have been unable to secure a sufficient number of qualified individuals willing and available to perform this physically demanding and seasonal work. The temporary workers we seek under the H-2A program are essential to maintaining our production schedule and ensuring the success of our farm operation. These positions are seasonal and will not extend beyond the designated agricultural season. We are committed to complying with all applicable labor laws and program requirements, including providing approved housing, transportation, and fair wages. Job Title: 45-2093.00: Farmworkers, Farm, Ranch, and Aquacultural Animals March - September: Duties will include: • Equipment Maintenance: Perform maintenance and basic repairs on combines, tractors, grain carts, and semi-trucks to ensure machinery is in proper working condition for harvest operations. • Field & Crop Preparation: Field preparation for corn, wheat, and soybeans involves crucial steps like soil testing for nutrients (N, P, K) and pH, residue management, tillage (or no-till) for seedbed creation, incorporating cover crops/amendments, clearing debris, and ensuring proper moisture and planting depth for germination, often using crop rotation to manage pests and improve soil health, with specific needs for each crop like soybean inoculants • Grain Handling: Operate combines to harvest crops. Drive tractors pulling grain carts to transport harvested grain from the combine to awaiting semi-trucks. Operate semi-trucks or assist with loading grain into semi-trucks, which will then haul grain to on-farm storage bins or the local grain elevator. • Cattle & Fence Preparation: Inspect and repair fencing in preparation for moving cattle to new pastures following harvest. October - December: Harvest will be in full operation, and duties will include: • Daily Cattle Checks: Use a pickup truck or service truck to check cattle daily, ensuring they have adequate feed, water, and are in good health. • Fencing Maintenance: Continue maintenance and repair of fencing as needed to contain and protect livestock. • Calving Assistance: Assist with late-season calving, including tagging newborn calves, monitoring the health and well-being of cows and calves, and providing any necessary assistance to ensure animal safety. • Harvest Operations: Continue to operate combines, tractors with grain carts, and assist with grain transport and unloading. Driving Duties SS Farms LLC is a row crop (corn, soybeans, and wheat) and livestock operation located in rural Central Missouri. Given the size and spread of our operation, driving is an essential skill required of all farm employees. Workers must be capable of operating vehicles and equipment safely to: • Pick up agricultural parts and supplies from various vendors • Deliver grain to local elevators • Assist in transporting grain from the field to on-farm grain bins Due to the rural setting and scale of operations, the ability to drive farm equipment and on-road vehicles is critical to maintaining efficient harvest and operational logistics.
