agricultural equipment operators

Workers will be employed as Agricultural Equipment Operators for seasonal crop farming at Larson Farms, a grain production operation located in North Dakota. The work is seasonal and tied to the agricultural cycle, with peak labor demands occurring during planting, crop management, and harvest periods. Duties include operating and driving a range of farm machinery and equipment used for soil preparation, planting, cultivating, spraying, and harvesting grain crops including wheat, barley, soybeans, and corn. Specific responsibilities include setting up, maintaining, and operating tractors, combines, sprayers, seeders, and other mechanized farm equipment. Workers will perform field preparation such as tilling, fertilizing, and disking, as well as monitoring irrigation and crop conditions. Workers may be required to transport crops and equipment on the farm and assist in storing harvested crops. Maintenance of equipment and basic mechanical troubleshooting may also be required to ensure safe and efficient operation. Due to the seasonal nature of the operation and the rural location, the employer has not been able to recruit sufficient domestic labor, and this workforce is necessary to meet time-sensitive crop production needs. Work is to be performed outdoors in a variety of weather conditions and may involve repetitive tasks, bending, lifting, and extended periods of sitting or standing. This is an entry-level (Skill Level I) position. No prior experience is required, but workers must be able to safely operate farm machinery after basic instruction.
