We operate a custom contract business in Illinois in the production of
an estimated 14,000 acres of seed corn. Our work begins mid-May with
male row delay. We use tractors to drive either flaming or cutting
implements through the field to stunt the male row of corn. Our work
continues in late June with mechanical detasseling. We operate Oxbo
machines cutting and pulling the tassels from female seed corn plants.
In August, we continue with male row destroying in which Oxbo machines
are driven through the field to chop up the male rows of seed corn since
they are no longer needed. Our season finishes up with seed corn
harvesting which usually runs from mid-August to early October. During
that time, we run Oxbo pickers to harvest the corn, as well as tractors
with chase carts. As the season concludes, we spend about 3 weeks
getting equipment cleaned up and ready for winter storage. Employees
will operate Case tractors with flaming or cutting implements, Oxbo
machines with pulling and cutting toolbars, and Case tractors with Oxbo
dump carts, dumping seed corn onto semi-trailers. Employees will also
move/drive equipment from field to field. Employees must be able to read
road/field maps, be able to communicate with others, including effective
hearing and vision capabilities, and follow company safety protocols
included in training. Employees will assist with all aspects of
harvesting these crops. Employees will need to complete daily, routine
repairs and maintenance on equipment. Employer may provide pay increases
for performance and experience at employers discretion. Employer may
provide performance bonuses at the end of the contract at the employers
discretion.
