Years recruiting & managing seasonal seed workers

Amerbis Inc. is a licensed Farm Labor Contractor (FLC) with over 20 years of experience recruiting and managing seasonal seed workers, dedicated to providing reliable, highly skilled, and experienced seasonal labor to support the operational needs of seed production and research companies in the United States and Argentina.

With access to a deep pool of experienced Argentine workers who have extensive hands-on experience in the seed industry, we deliver seasonal crews that combine productivity, technical expertise, and operational reliability.

Argentine agricultural workers are widely recognized for their strong work ethic, adaptability, and experience in precision agricultural operations. Our crews are prepared to support the critical stages of seed production and research activities, helping companies maintain efficiency during peak periods of the season.

Our teams integrate quickly into existing operations, requiring minimal supervision while maintaining consistent productivity and helping ensure that operational timelines and field activities are completed efficiently.

Why Argentine Workers

The backbone of a growing industry

Argentina's seed industry has grown into a major hub for global genetics companies, built on generations of hands-on agricultural knowledge and a climate suited to both breeding research and large-scale seed production. Behind that growth is a workforce that treats the field as a profession, not a summer job.

Our crews aren't high school students working a season between semesters — they're dedicated agricultural workers who've chosen to build their careers around seed production, taking the time to learn every stage of the process from pollination through packaging.

Deep Agricultural Roots

Argentina's rise as a seed industry hub means our workers grow up around the same crops, seasons, and precision techniques they later work with professionally.

Career Professionals

Not seasonal students — dedicated workers who've committed to learning every stage of seed production and research, not just one task. That know-how means minimal on-the-job training before they're fully productive on your operation.

Built for the Field

Accustomed to demanding, extreme-temperature conditions in the field, our crews maintain consistent productivity through the toughest stretches of the season.

Team-Oriented Work Culture

Used to working in coordinated crews rather than alone, our workers integrate smoothly into your existing teams and operational rhythm.

Seed Workforce

Crews trained for every stage of the season

Argentine agricultural workers are versatile. Rather than specializing in only one task, many of our workers have experience across multiple stages of the seed production and research process, allowing them to integrate quickly into operations and perform a wide range of activities efficiently while requiring minimal supervision.

Operational Productivity Indicators

Experienced crews, measurable output

Typical field and processing benchmarks for experienced Argentine workers in seed production and research operations.

Weed Control

1.85 acres / day

Experienced workers performing manual weed control and rogueing cover approximately 1.85 acres per day per worker.

Soybean Crossing

120 attempts / day

50–60% success rate, yielding 50–72 crossings per day. Workers are trained in the controlled pollination techniques used in breeding and research programs.

Soybean Harvest

120 plots / day

During research plot harvest, experienced crews support operations processing approximately 120 research plots per day per worker.

Corn Pollination

10,000 pollinations / season

One of the most labor-intensive stages of seed production. Experienced workers can perform up to 10,000 controlled pollinations per season.
