agricultural equipment operator

During our season, the workload becomes overwhelming as we have pit manure to haul, soil preparation for next year, harvesting of crops, and equipment cleanup on our hands. We need seasonal workers to assist with these tasks. Spring, however, can typically be managed by oneself. Job duties during these busy periods will include operating tractors and manure spreaders, loading and unloading crops or materials manually or using conveyors, hand trucks, forklifts, or transfer augers, manipulating controls to set, activate, and adjust mechanisms on machinery, observing and listening to machinery operation to detect equipment malfunctions, inspecting, adjusting, and completing routine maintenance and repairs on equipment, and washing and waxing equipment. The employer, at its sole discretion, may grant pay increases based on factors such as performance, longevity, and/or experience. Workers returning for a consecutive season will be paid at the previous season’s rate if that rate exceeds the current published rate.
