We operate a custom contract business in Illinois in the production of

an estimated 23,000 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. The employer, at its sole

discretion, may grant pay increases based on factors such as

performance, longevity, and/or experience. Employer may also, at its

sole discretion, offer performance-based incentive bonuses that are not

guaranteed and are determined by the employer. Workers returning for a

consecutive season will be paid at the previous seasons rate if that

rate exceeds the current published rate.
