Our Approach
What Parents Should Know
We ask that parents drop off their kids to the designated pickup location 5 minutes early and if they are sick or need to miss work that they notify their supervisor.
We recommend that your son/daughter wears comfortable shoes, long pants and a long sleeved shirt, Pinco Detasseling will provide any necessary safety equipment.
Ensure that your son/daughter brings plenty of water for the entire work day and a good lunch. Some detasselers freeze drinking water in plastic jugs and let them thaw out in the fields.
If it is raining or even thunder-storming, the morning your son or daughter is requested to work, Always send them to work anyway. The rain makes the corn grow at a much faster rate and that means more work for us. These summer morning rains are quite common and they usually are finished by the time we get to the fields. We do not work during lighting or stormy conditions. Employees will wait in the safety of the bus until the storm has passed. Its a good idea for your child to bring rain gear with them just in case.
