H and B Ag operates a corn and soybean crop production, along with a cow/calf operation. We are seeking a seasonal employee to assist with our fall harvesting from September through November, as well as spring field preparation and planting from March through May.

Once the cattle are returned to pasture in the spring, they require no daily care or feeding until the next calving season. Job duties include preparing fields for planting; attaching farm implements such as plows, discs, sprayers, or harvesters to tractors using bolts and hand tools; and operating tractors, planters, and manure spreaders.

Additional responsibilities include preparing fields and equipment for seasonal field work and performing maintenance and repairs on farm machinery and vehicles such as tractors, harvesters, and irrigation systems.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
