  • Tipping experience is required as a minimum.
  • Blowing experience is preferred but not essential.
  • Candidates with significant farm work and blowing experience can expect higher pay.

Additional Notes:

  • An immediate start is available for the right candidate.
  • No holidays are permitted during the harvest season.
