Bickett Donner Helms Detasseling

We have some important news to announce and need to make sure you read this whole message.

We have been contacted by Wyffel’s and told that due to COVID, they do not feel comfortable having large crews out detasseling this summer and have asked us to put together a rouging crew. Due to numbers and not wanting to load too many kids on a bus, we will not be able to hire everyone. The rougers will be a smaller hand-picked group that will be based upon previous work experience, work ethic demonstrated (at work and/or school), and reliability. Those who are interested in rouging only, and feel they meet these requirements, please email us at bdhdet@gmail.com. We will then pick from that group who have emailed us and notify who we have hired. Starting date is of course not known yet, but will start earlier in the summer then normal detasseling, and finish a little earlier in the summer than detasseling would normally finish (weather permitting).

Thank you for understanding

Dale Donner
