What are the responsibilities and job description for the Agricultural Equipment Operator position at Bert and Wetta Abilene Inc?
We are an Alfalfa Dehy plant that produces 1/4 inch alfalfa pellets and alfalfa meal that is sold in bulk form. We currently grow close to 4,000 acres of alfalfa. We typically try to get 4-6 cuttings per field. We also do a lot of hay grinding at our facility. We use 7-8 Field Queen Choppers to harvest the alfalfa and 4-5 tandem axle trucks to haul the chopped alfalfa to our Dehy Plant. Employees will operate and do the daily inspections on the cutter in a safe working manner, as well as haul chopped hay from the field to our processing plant. Employees will assist with all aspects of growing/harvesting this crop, and complete general farm duties as assigned. Employees will need to complete routine repairs and maintenance on equipment. No commercial truck driving is required. The employer, at its sole discretion, may grant pay increases based on factors such as performance, longevity, and/or experience.
