Fieldwork begins in the spring with preparing fields for planting using tractors and attached tillage equipment under SOC 45-2091, then continues through planting, seeding, and spraying crops, including spraying weeds and irrigating crops during the summer. Crop handling also includes driving a farm truck to haul grain from the field to storage, operating harvest equipment to harvest grain, and completing general cleaning and farm maintenance, along with routine repairs and maintenance on equipment and irrigation systems. During the summer months, employees also assist with fence maintenance and repairs as part of ongoing ranch upkeep. Livestock duties under SOC 45-2093 center on the cow-calf operation, where cattle are confined for calving and brought in from pastures in January when calving starts and remain in close care through June; during this period employees assist with birthing and deliveries, caring for cattle, and assisting with breeding activities and pregnancy checks as directed. After June, cattle are returned to pasture and no care is needed until the next calving season.
