Verbio

We are gearing up for harvest where we will be chopping, baling, and hauling to our plant roughly 100,000 bales of corn stover.  We do this all ourselves with our own equipment.  We essentially show up at the farmers field after he has harvested his corn with our equipment and bale the stover and then haul it to our facility.

 

Given the volume, we are in need of about 25 seasonal workers and I thought of you!  I know school is just getting back in session, but we are needing to identify and get these seasonal worked started soon in order to have time to get them trained up and ready to go.  The nice thing is our plant is in Nevada and most of our acres are within 45 miles of the plant, so this would be a really close job for the students.
