Meet James Dickie, a Harvest Specialist at Zander Sod Company! In his role, James is responsible for harvesting the sod, and loading up the trucks. In August they begin seeding. A high school diploma is required to be a harvest specialist but an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree in a relevant or supplementary field such as Agribusiness, Plant Science, or Agriculture would be helpful. Certifications such as a CDL or pesticide applicator licenses are also often desired. Sod Harvest Specialists may work independently on their own farm or they may work for large farms and agricultural companies that produce crops and crop-related products.
