Corn detasseling:

General Maintenance:

Workers on physical work restrictions or when harvesting work is not available may be required to perform miscellaneous clean-up work on work site property, on structures utilized in the work site operation, and on housing for harvesting workers. Such clean-up activities include the sprouting, pruning, and painting of trees; debris, weeds, and vine removal; irrigation repair; housing and structure cleaning and repair, washing field equipment, pick up rocks from fields, hoeing, handle bags of seed, filling bins/dryers with seed, corn baling. Beyond primary harvest duties, workers are responsible for general field clean-up and maintenance, which includes removing debris and discarded fruit, pruning and maintaining plants, repairing irrigation equipment, and maintaining fence lines. Maintenance tasks also extend to the daily cleaning of floors, belts, and bathrooms, as well as building boxes and moving pallets to ensure compliance with Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) policies. Some workers may be required to possess a valid CDL if they are responsible for transporting workers from housing to the work sites, and driving of farm equipment and other vehicles may be required on the farm only. The employer will verify the validity of the driver's license prior to the start of driving duties. All hours spent driving will be paid at the applicable hourly rate. Workers must be able to perform strenuous manual labor outdoors in all weather conditions, including heat, cold, and rain, for a minimum of six (6) hours per day. The position requires physical strength and endurance to bend, stoop, and stand for extended periods, as well as manual dexterity to repetitively use hands at a sustained pace to meet production standards. The employer will provide all necessary tools and equipment at no charge to the worker. Consistent with applicable law, the employer may recover the reasonable cost of repair or replacement of tools if damage results from the worker's willful misconduct or gross negligence after the damage has occurred and after gaining the employee's written authorization to make the deduction. At its sole discretion, the employer may pay a higher wage rate based on individual performance or tenure, which does not alter the entry-level requirements of this position.
