Custom harvester crews are looking for help in preparation for the upcoming season. U.S. Custom Harvesters Incorporated President Glen Jantzen says the times are unprecedented. “Some of the people from our southern borders have been able to get in. It depends on where you’re at and how workers have to quarantine. Workers from Europe aren’t able to come in right now,” explains Jantzen. “Everything is changing so fast.” Some crews are optimistic there could be more help coming around May. In the meantime, others are sourcing local help. Jantzen says it can take some to time for local workers to get a CDL. “Lots of states have closed down their licensing departments and you can’t get a test for the written or the driving part of the CDL and some states are worse than others.”
