| Job Description: |
Need 4 full time, temporary, seasonal Farmworkers / Laborers to work in Northfield, MN.
From: 02/16/2024 to 11/30/2024
Work: 38 hrs./week, Mon.-Fri. 7 hrs./day, Sat. 3 hrs./day. 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

JOB DUTIES: Workers will manually plant, cultivate and harvest vegetables and fruits. Use hand tools such as shovels, trowels, hoes, tampers, pruning hooks, shears, and knives. Duties may include tilling soil and applying fertilizers; transplanting, weeding, thinning, or pruning crops; applying pesticides; cleaning, grading, sorting, packing, and loading harvest products. May participate in irrigation activities.
Seeds Farm engages in a unique form of direct to industry wholesale agriculture, which requires of employees a knowledge and judgment level significantly above industry standards. This knowledge and judgement can only come from experience in the field and pack house. For example, employees will be required to pick muskmelons within a narrow range of ripeness standards (unlike conventional melons, which are picked and shipped green.) They will be required to pack highly perishable varieties of numerous different salad crops - not in the conventional 24 count leaf lettuce box - but in boxes of mixed produce where they can easily be crushed or otherwise damaged. They will spend large amounts of time grading heirloom tomatoes for ripeness, cosmetic and structural defects and suitability for delivery to very high-end customers. This skill alone can take weeks to develop, even for an employee who has months or even years of experience.
JOB REQUIREMENTS: Must have three (3) months experience. Must be able to lift 50 lbs. Able to perform work requiring extensive sitting or walking, stooping or bending over, and repetitive movements. No HS Diploma / GED required.
EMPLOYER ASSURANCES: Work guaranteed for 3/4 of contract period, starting with date of arrival at work site. Employer provides free housing for workers whose residence is beyond normal commuting distance.

Daily subsistence will be provided at a rate of at least $15.88 per day during travel to a maximum of $59.00 per day with receipts. Required work-related tools and supplies provided free of charge by employer.
