Descrição da Vaga
The workers will have the task of planting, weeding, and harvesting produce. The crops
include strawberries, tomatoes, cantaloupe, watermelon, apples, peaches, peppers, squash,
pumpkins, sweet corn,
cherries, plums and pears. It will require the worker to be bent over several hours a day in
inclement weather if necessary. The tasks must be performed quickly and repetitively several
hours a day. The worker must be able to walk down the rows to harvest, and when picking the fruits occasionally climb a step ladder.
The tools for harvesting will be provided by the employer at no cost to the employee. Normally
the smaller fruits will be picked in
buckets and transported for sorting and packing. For the larger produce the employee will
need to bend over and pick up the produce and tossed to the next employee until it is placed
on a truck or wagon. This could require
the laborer to be able to lift a 50-pound melon from the ground and tossing it to the next
employee. Employees will hoe and pull weeds, as well as any other task necessary for a good crop pre harvest, then clean up the fields post harvest.
