We are excited to further training on our live sales. We have simple yet very important tasks on this side of the farm. We require help with:
- Cleaning Screens
- Cleaning Hatchery/Greenhouse
- Brushing Ponds
- Cleaning Settlements
- Feeding Fish
Prior to getting started on each chore, it is important to know how we classify the farm. When we are health inspected, they have us determine our farm by “sets. ” Connected by water source and raceway.
We have the following sets:
- The Hatchery: 6 troughs and 11 tanks, as well as an L shaped pond going from inside to the outside edge of the building. Yellow on the map.
- The North Raceways: North 1-8ab and North North 1 & 2. Blue on the map
- The South Raceways: South 1ab-6ab and the blue ponds. Green on the Map
- The Greenhouse Raceways: 9ab-12ab. Purple on the map.
- Inside the Greenhouse: 4 troughs and 2 ponds. Orange on the map.
- The Quarantine Pond- 1 singular pond. Red on the Map.
Each set will have its own equipment. I.e. It’s own screen brushes, and buckets. They will also have footbaths to clean your feet. You will want to familiarize yourself with where the equipment is so it may be returned to each area. NO equipment should ever be left out. No fence entered, should ever be left open. We strive to keep this area bio-secure.
Do not take equipment from one area to another. There are footbaths for cleaning feet from invasive species or disease located at the entrance of the hatchery, greenhouse, and new hatchery. Use a footbath frequently.
