Planting

Planting usually starts around May 6th... We need 16 workers for two days a week for about four weeks ( total of about 8 to 10 days of work) these are 10 to 12 hour days pay is $12.00/hr. Our work force is usually made up of mostly college students and some older high school students and a few out of school adults. We work for the Red Hen Turf Farm so most of our work is in the New Carlisle area, but we sometimes travel to other areas. Most workers sit and quickly place tomato plants into the planter. Workers can alternate to walking jobs also. 2021 Tomato Planting Field Map
