Unverferth Hiring at Expanded Iowa Manufacturing Plant

After completion of a major 5,000-square-foot facility and renovations at its Shell Rock, Iowa plant, Unverferth Manufacturing is looking to hire 45-55 additional people to support increased demand and diversification of product lines, according to a recent Farm Equipment article. Featured upgrades include expanded manufacturing space and storage room, tube lasers, overhead lifts, LED lighting, robotic sorting and fiber lasers.

Each piece of machinery is manufactured from start to finish on site, so welders, painters, overhead crane operators, assemblers and other machine operators are needed, according to a recent KCRG-TV9 article. This includes predominately second shift workers, and while experience is preferred, it’s not required.

Employee benefits are a big draw for local workers who stay for the no cost health insurance, 15% profit sharing retirement contribution, safe working environment and good work life balance, says KCRG-TV9. Unverferth is one of Butler country’s largest employers at the Shell Rock manufacturing facility.

#CortevaTalks brings you a short update with Cereal Herbicides Category Manager, Alister McRobbie, on how to get the most out of Broadway® Star.

Significant populations of grassweeds, including ryegrass and brome, can threaten winter wheat yields. Spring applications of a contact graminicide, such as Broadway Star from Corteva Agriscience, can clear problem weeds, allowing crops to grow away in the spring.

Broadway Star (pyroxsulam + florasulam) controls ryegrass, sterile brome, wild oats and a range of broad-leaved weeds such as cleavers. It can be applied to winter wheat up until GS32, but the earlier the application is made, the smaller the weed, and the greater the benefit to the crop. Weeds should be actively growing. A good rule of thumb is that if your grass needs cutting, conditions are right to apply Broadway Star.
