Job description

Description:

Fall Harvest Farm Laborer – Seasonal Albin Farms | Newman, IL


$19+/hour to start, based on experience. Seasonal, through the fall harvest window.


Albin Farms is a family-owned row-crop operation in Newman, Illinois. We've been farming this ground for generations, and we run on the latest ag technology available. We need extra hands to get us through fall harvest, our busiest and most important stretch of the year. You'll work alongside our team getting the crop out of the field and into the bin on time.


What you'll do

  • Haul and unload grain during harvest
  • Operate tractors, grain carts, and other harvest equipment
  • Support combine operations as needed
  • Help keep equipment running and ready to go during long harvest days
  • Work extended hours, including evenings and weekends, as harvest demands

What we're looking for

  • High school diploma or GED
  • Experience with ag equipment or grain hauling is a plus, but we're willing to train the right person
  • CDL Class A preferred, not required
  • Ability to work long, physically demanding days during harvest season
  • A great attitude is a must

Why this role

  • Strong hourly pay starting at $19+, based on experience
  • A defined season, work hard through harvest, then you're done
  • Real seat time on tractors, grain carts, and combines, great experience if you're building toward ag or CDL work
  • Part of a close-knit, family-owned crew during the most exciting time of year on the farm

This is a seasonal position and does not include year-round benefits.


Apply now! We'd love to talk with you.


Albin Farms is an equal opportunity employer.
