Agriculture Employers in Illinois

This directory lists agricultural employers in Illinois with job order records on file with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The 160 employers documented here represent farm operations and agricultural businesses that formally filed job orders, creating a verifiable public record of their employment activities in Illinois. Each listing links to a full employer profile that includes job title, worksite location, documented wage rate, employment season, and other details drawn directly from federal records.

Each employer profile in this directory is sourced from USDA public data, which captures details such as the type of agricultural work, the documented wage offer, the expected employment period, and the number of workers covered by each filing. These records are historical — they reflect the details submitted at the time of the job order and do not confirm current job availability or active hiring. Contact individual employers to verify whether positions are available.

A significant portion of the employer records in Illinois are drawn from the H-2A Temporary Agricultural Workers program. H-2A filings are processed through the Department of Labor and require employers to document the unavailability of domestic workers, offer a wage at or above the Adverse Effect Wage Rate, and provide housing and transportation at no cost to workers. The job order records preserved in this dataset reflect the terms documented in each employer's original filing.

Agricultural work documented in Illinois records spans a range of crop and livestock operations. Job orders on file describe positions including harvesting, planting, irrigation, and general farm labor, reflecting the diversity of agricultural activity across the state. Season dates in each record indicate the expected employment period for that filing, though actual work schedules and durations may vary. All employment terms and current availability should be confirmed directly with the employer before making any decisions.
