Farmworker jobs at CY Farms in Roanoke, Louisiana are open now, with H-2A visa sponsorship included, a set 40-hour week and work that runs clear through crawfish, rice and soybean seasons.

About the Role

CY Farms runs a genuinely seasonal operation built around three crops: crawfish, rice and soybeans. These aren’t grown side by side and forgotten, they overlap in a tight, almost year-round cycle that starts in November and runs through September. That means the busy season here isn’t a few weeks, it’s ten months out of twelve, so steady work is basically guaranteed once you’re on board.

They’re bringing on 6 workers under the H-2A programme, starting November 15, 2026. The job runs full-time, 40 hours a week, 7 AM to 3 PM, so your days have a predictable rhythm even when the tasks change with the season.

Expect real variety across the crop cycle. Crawfish season has you baiting and checking traps, cutting fish bait, grading and washing crawfish for shipment, and even repairing traps between rounds. Once that winds down, you’ll shift into field prep, water maintenance, and eventually planting and harvesting rice and soybeans. There’s a fair bit of manual labor involved, shovel work, hoeing weeds, spot spraying, and plenty of walking, so this suits someone who doesn’t mind physical outdoor work in changing conditions.

CY Farms also runs a drug-free workplace, with random and post-accident testing covered at the employer’s expense.

Job Snapshot

Pay & Job Details

Seasonal ag work through H-2A gives you a genuine foothold in U.S. farm labor, with CY Farms offering a longer season than most single-crop operations. If you’re building experience toward future seasonal roles, this kind of multi-crop cycle gives you broader hands-on skills than a shorter placement would.
