Gap year and seasonal agricultural jobs in the USA and Canada in 2009

The Agricultural Labour Pool is a job seeking assistance website for those looking for employment in agriculture in the USA and Canada. If you have obtained a Working Visa and are looking for temporary work in seasonal harvesting or other farm jobs their website is the perfect place to start!

You can register online, upload your CV and get advice on your suitability for an agricultural job.  Applications from UK students and travellers are welcome but you will need to apply for your own Working Visa or go through a sponsoring organisation - but if you are looking for casual temporary farm work whilst you travel around the USA, uploading your CV to The Agricultural Labour Pool may be a good start.
