Why This Job Matters

Canada’s agricultural sector plays a vital role in feeding communities both locally and globally. As a farm labourer, you’ll be an essential part of the food production cycle—harvesting fresh crops, maintaining equipment, and ensuring top-quality produce makes it to market. Plus, working in a rural setting gives you a chance to enjoy Saskatchewan’s wide-open spaces, fresh air, and the satisfaction of hands-on work.

What You’ll Be Doing

This position focuses on manual crop harvesting and general farm labour. Here’s a breakdown of the key responsibilities you can expect:

  • Hand-harvesting vegetables and cutting crops from the field
  • Cleaning and grading crops to ensure quality standards
  • Culling vegetables and preparing produce for market
  • Operating and maintaining farm equipment such as tractors, harvesters, and loaders
  • Identifying signs of disease or pests in crops, livestock, and poultry
  • Ensuring all harvested items meet quality control standards

You’ll be working with field berries and other vegetables, so attention to detail and a solid work ethic are key to success in this role.

What You Need to Qualify

Good news—this job doesn’t require a degree or formal education. Training will be provided on-site, but there are a few basic qualifications and skills you’ll need to bring to the table:

  • Fluent English communication skills
  • First Aid Certificate (a must-have for safety on the farm)
  • Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work well in a team
  • Flexibility, good judgement, and an organized work approach

Working Conditions You Should Know About

Farm life is rewarding but physically demanding. Here’s what to expect from the work environment:

  • Long hours outdoors in all types of weather—dusty, noisy, and even in cold or refrigerated areas
  • Repetitive tasks like bending, crouching, kneeling, and standing for extended periods
  • Fast-paced conditions with tight timelines
  • Heavy lifting and physically demanding chores
  • Need for good hand-eye coordination and sensory skills (e.g., identifying sounds and colours)

The job site is located in a rural area, so being comfortable with country living is important. Having your own transportation and a valid driver’s licence is also required. You’ll need to be able to drive a manual transmission vehicle, so make sure you’re comfortable behind the wheel of standard farm equipment.

Experience with Farm Equipment

While formal experience isn’t required, familiarity with the following machines will definitely be an asset:

  • Farm trucks and lift trucks
  • Loaders and tillage equipment
  • Tractors and vegetable harvesters

Don’t worry if you haven’t operated all these machines before—training is provided for the right candidates.

Security and Safety

As a condition of employment, successful applicants must be bondable, which means passing a basic background check. This helps ensure a safe and trustworthy work environment for everyone on the team.
