Additional labor is required for the growing and slaughtering season from October through December. This position is not year-round because the employers labor needs are seasonal and temporary. All operations take place on the farm, and 100 percent of the poultry processed is raised by Stonewood Farm, Inc. Workers will perform all aspects of poultry processing, including cleaning, slaughtering, and dressing the birds for market. Workers will help operate the slaughter plant, performing tasks that include harvesting and processing turkeys. Workers will catch and transport fowl to the processing area; hang live poultry in shackles and perform bleed-out procedures; make required knife cuts; remove, separate, and prepare viscera; debone and grind meat; and apply labels and record weights. Workers will clean and sanitize all rooms and equipment in accordance with USDA specifications, including blood pans, rendering barrels, floors, restrooms, and walls. In addition to these responsibilities, workers will perform general farm maintenance and assist with any new infrastructure or improvements as needed. Workers must be able to safely operate agricultural equipment and perform duties under a variety of environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, high humidity, direct sun, moderate winds, snow, and wet conditions. The assigned duties are physically demanding and require prolonged walking, bending, stooping, kneeling, and lifting. Workers must be able to lift and carry up to 80 pounds on a frequent basis. Workers may be asked to operate trucks or other multi-purpose vehicles to transport workers from housing (whether on or off farm) to the farm properties; haul tools, supplies, or crops; transport workers from place to place around the farm properties during the workday (including on public roads to reach farmer's fields); and/or transport workers to the grocery store, bank, or laundry facilities on an as needed basis.
