Company Overview

This is a professionally operated Canadian miscellaneous crop farming operation managing a diverse outdoor crop production program across rural agricultural land that requires a capable and physically committed farm workforce to maintain field conditions, manage crop health, execute timely harvests, and deliver graded produce to market at the highest achievable quality standard throughout the growing season. The farm operates entirely outdoors across all weather conditions the Canadian agricultural calendar presents, and the daily working environment is honest, physically demanding, dusty, and dirty in the way that all genuine outdoor crop farming environments are.

Key Responsibilities

Field Clearing and Crop Preparation:

Clear and collect brush, plant debris, stones, and other physical obstructions from all assigned field areas, pens, and general farm work areas on a regular and thorough basis throughout the season, maintaining clean and safely accessible field conditions that support efficient crop cultivation, safe machinery operation, and the overall operational hygiene of the farming property
Prepare field areas for planting and ongoing cultivation activities by removing accumulated debris and ensuring growing areas are free of physical obstacles that could interfere with planting equipment, irrigation systems, or harvesting machinery during subsequent operational phases across the crop production calendar

Crop Care and Field Maintenance:

Remove all suckers and water sprouts manually from assigned crops throughout the growing season as directed by the farm supervisor, applying correct identification and removal technique to prevent unwanted vegetative growth from competing with the primary productive growth and reducing the commercial quality and marketable yield of the harvested crop
Weed all assigned crop growing areas thoroughly and consistently throughout the cultivation period using appropriate manual and mechanical weeding methods, maintaining the clean and competitive-free growing conditions that healthy miscellaneous crop production requires at every stage of development from early establishment through to final harvest readiness
Cut agricultural crops at the correct growth stage and using the correct cutting technique for each crop type as directed, contributing to the timely and quality-conscious crop management that the farm’s production schedule and market delivery commitments depend on throughout the growing season
Maintain clean and organized field conditions across all assigned growing areas and work stations throughout every shift, contributing to the overall safety, biosecurity, and operational efficiency of the farming operation at every point in the seasonal production calendar

Harvesting:

Harvest all assigned crops at the correct stage of maturity using appropriate manual and mechanical harvesting techniques, working at the pace and with the physical care required to meet the farm’s daily harvest volume targets while maintaining the produce quality and careful handling standards that market-ready agricultural output demands from the first moment of picking through to collection, transfer, and post-harvest processing
Handle all harvested produce with the attention to detail and quality consciousness required to maintain produce integrity from the point of harvest through to grading and market preparation, identifying and setting aside any damaged, immature, or otherwise non-conforming items during the harvest operation for correct separation during the subsequent grading process

Produce Grading and Quality Assessment:

Grade harvested vegetables and fruits into the correct market grades based on careful and consistent personal assessment of each item’s size, shape, colour, and volume, applying the colour distinction ability and attention to detail that accurate and commercially valuable produce grading demands throughout high-volume post-harvest processing operations under tight deadline conditions
Separate graded produce into the correct market grade categories efficiently and accurately, understanding that precise and reliable grading directly determines the price the farming operation receives for its product across all market channels and that every grading decision made throughout the harvest period has a direct impact on the farm’s commercial outcomes and market reputation
Maintain the correct grading pace and accuracy standard throughout extended grading shifts, managing the physical demands of standing for long periods during the grading and sorting process while sustaining the visual attention and colour distinction precision that consistent market-grade produce separation requires

Farm Machinery and Equipment Operation:

Operate farm machinery and equipment safely and competently across all assigned field clearing, cultivation, crop cutting, and harvesting activities, following correct operating procedures, manufacturer guidelines, and all applicable Canadian workplace health and safety requirements for each piece of equipment used throughout the growing and harvest season
Maintain all assigned farm machinery and equipment in clean and correctly functioning condition throughout the employment period, performing basic operator maintenance and cleaning procedures as directed by the farm supervisor and reporting any mechanical issues, damage, or maintenance requirements promptly for timely repair or service before equipment problems create operational disruptions or safety hazards during field operations

General Farm Duties and Safety:

Follow all Canadian workplace health and safety requirements and farm-specific safety protocols without exception throughout every shift and every aspect of the crop farming work performed, actively contributing to the safe and hazard-aware working environment that protects every member of the farm team throughout the growing and harvest season
Communicate clearly and promptly with the farm supervisor and fellow team members throughout each shift regarding task progress, crop observations, equipment status, and any operational issues or safety concerns identified during field or processing work that require supervisory attention or immediate action
Be available for early morning shift starts as required by the farm’s daily production schedule and be genuinely prepared to work overtime hours during peak cultivation, cutting, and harvest periods when the crop’s readiness and market delivery commitments require extended daily working hours beyond the standard shift length
