Duties include preparing, inspecting, and maintaining equipment; operating tractors, sprayers, seeders, and combines; applying fertilizers; planting crops; monitoring field conditions; harvesting and transporting grain; and cleaning and storing equipment post-season. Work begins mid-March with machinery prep and runs through late November, requiring flexibility and long hours based on weather. All crops must be seeded by June 10 to ensure adequate growing time, and harvest starts in early August, with grain harvested daily when conditions allow. Workers must be able to lift up to 60 lbs., have a valid driver's license, and operate farm equipment safely. No formal education required; agricultural experience required.

Employer may reward exceptional work with monetary or other benefits in addition to those listed here in his sole discretion. Operator License Class D Candidate will have 60 days to obtain. Skill Level II Experienced Level Pursuant to the Interim Final Rule (IFR) implementing the new four-level wage system for H-2A occupations, the employer designates this position as Skill Level II Experienced Level, indicating that the job requires prior related experience, independent judgment in performing recurring tasks, and the ability to work with limited supervision. The employer reserves the right to withhold the applicable housing deduction as permitted under program regulations, when approved and disclosed in the job order.
In view of the statutorily established basic function of the Employment Service (ES) as a no-fee labor exchange that is as a forum for bringing together employers and job seekers, neither the Employment and Training Administration (ETA) nor the State Workforce Agencies (SWA) are guarantors of the accuracy or truthfulness of information contained on job orders submitted by employers. Nor does any job order accepted or recruited upon by the ES constitute a contractual job offer to which the ETA or a SWA is in any way a party.
Applicants for this job can apply in several ways: Online by emailing the specified address with the ETA case number in the subject line, through State Workforce Agencies (SWAs), or by walking into the employers office during business hours (Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM CDT). SWAs must explain job conditions and requirements before referring applicants. All applicants must be available for the full season, physically capable, legally authorized to work in the U.S., have transportation to the job site (which will be reimbursed), and must fully understand the jobs terms. Each worker must fill out a Form I-9 within 3 days of starting to verify their employment eligibility, per federal law. The employer follows all federal regulations, including 20 CFR 653.501, when hiring. They retain final say over who is hired and will pay the highest wage required based on Adverse Effect Wage Rates (AEWR) or state minimum wage, depending on housing provisions and skill level. Workers receiving free housing may be paid a lower hourly wage that includes a housing credit, as permitted by the Department of Labor. No additional deductions for housing can be made.
