Prairie dog trapping. It is seasonal work since we can't have traps out while we are grazing and or harvesting the fields during the summer growing season. Traps need to be placed over the holes which are located in perimeter and within the field boundaries. Prairie dog networks are extensive underground, if traps are placed over all holes in the community they will exit though holes without traps and trapping will be ineffective. Prairie dogs are a major issue in organic production and extremely difficult to control. The best method we have found is trapping but it requires daily observation, setting, and resetting of traps. Late fall through early spring we have had excellent luck in controlling the population.

The basic duties of a ranch hand on a working ranch are tending livestock and repairing and cleaning fences, ranch buildings, and equipment. Tending livestock usually includes feeding, watering, birthing, branding, shearing, roping, sorting, pasturing, herding, grooming, or trimming, cleaning stalls and basic doctoring skills for the ranch's horses, cattle, poultry, pigs, and/or sheep. Having raised healthy animals through this attentive care, ranch hands must also haul the livestock to market or to a shipping terminal for the purposes of selling or butchering. Ranchers specialize in nurturing and caring for these young animals. Cow-calf raisers must keep track of breeding and calving season, and they must have enough rudimentary veterinary skills to aid heifers in the birthing of calves and even in the treatment of animals that are wounded or hurt during the birthing process. Moving or herding cattle to and from different pastures, transporting animals to new locations or to market, protecting the herd from wild animals or even poachers and providing basic veterinary care to sick or injured animals as the need arises. As with any piece of property, a ranch requires a great degree of general maintenance and oversight. Because of the vastness of many ranches, this work includes tasks such as building and repairing fences to separate pastures and building and maintaining all buildings on the property, maintaining machinery, trucks, tractors, and other equipment used in ranching. Other maintenance tasks for entry level ranch jobs include groundskeeping, operating machinery such as mowing and baling hay fields, removing dead or fallen trees and ensuring there are no poisonous or dangerous plants or animals on the property that could harm the livestock, daily irrigation of fields using modern sprinkler systems, setting up irrigation tubes to direct water to specific areas and digging new ditches to move water to new locations.

The worker may be requested but is not required to work as much as 12 hours per day and on holidays depending on weather conditions, crop conditions, market demand or the availability of other workers or other unforeseen circumstances. Worker is not required to work more than 40 hours a week (or 7 hours per day) or on the Sabbath or Federal holidays to meet the guaranteed pay.\n\nBecause the quality of marketable vegetables (i.e., unbruised, uninjured and hand inspected) is important for the farmer's business model, the employer is requiring workers to have at least 3 months of harvesting experience to ensure that workers have the necessary skills to properly harvest, handle, grade and pack vegetables grown. The quality of the vegetables has a significant influence of determining the level of consumer acceptance. Because consumers perceive that the quality of vegetables are dependent upon appearing crisp, fresh and unbruised and uninjured, special skills and experience are required for the proper harvesting, handling, grading and packing to ensure optimum produce quality at the marketplace. Not all vegetables can be harvested, handled or packed in the same manner. Improper harvesting and rough handling can cause bruising and injure vegetables, which reduces the value of the product at the marketplace and promotes premature decay.

Careful pruning requires knowledge of what to prune, how much to prune and fruit trees' growth habits. The primary reason for pruning fruit trees is to improve fruit quality and thus increase crop marketability and value.\n\nApple/Peach Harvest: Maximization of fruit quality is of paramount importance. Different varieties of apples and peaches will be picked according to established company procedures based on the end use (spot picking for fresh; small percentage of culls for processing). Workers must be able to differentiate between colors accurately in order to perform color-specific picking.

The quality of the vegetables has a significant influence of determining the level of consumer acceptance. Because consumers perceive that the quality of vegetables are dependent upon appearing crisp, fresh and unbruised and uninjured, special skills and experience are required for the proper harvesting, handling, grading and packing to ensure optimum produce quality at the marketplace. Not all vegetables can be harvested, handled or packed in the same manner.

The basic duties of a ranch hand on a working ranch are tending livestock and repairing and cleaning fences, ranch buildings, and equipment. Tending livestock usually includes feeding, watering, birthing, branding, shearing, roping, sorting, pasturing, herding, grooming, or trimming, cleaning stalls and basic doctoring skills for the ranch's horses, cattle, poultry, pigs, and/or sheep. Having raised healthy animals through this attentive care, ranch hands must also haul the livestock to market or to a shipping terminal for the purposes of selling or butchering. Ranchers specialize in nurturing and caring for these young animals. Cow-calf raisers must keep track of breeding and calving season, and they must have enough rudimentary veterinary skills to aid heifers in the birthing of calves and even in the treatment of animals that are wounded or hurt during the birthing process. Moving or herding cattle to and from different pastures, transporting animals to new locations or to market, protecting the herd from wild animals or even poachers and providing basic veterinary care to sick or injured animals as the need arises. As with any piece of property, a ranch requires a great degree of general maintenance and oversight. Because of the vastness of many ranches, this work includes tasks such as building and repairing fences to separate pastures and building and maintaining all buildings on the property, maintaining machinery, trucks, tractors, and other equipment used in ranching. Other maintenance tasks for entry level ranch jobs include groundskeeping, operating machinery such as mowing and baling hay fields, removing dead or fallen trees and ensuring there are no poisonous or dangerous plants or animals on the property that could harm the livestock, daily irrigation of fields using modern sprinkler systems, setting up irrigation tubes to direct water to specific areas and digging new ditches to move water to new locations.
