As a general matter, working hours will be divided between duties related to rice and crawfish depending on the employers needs. Given that the demands of agricultural production are unpredictable and determined by factor to include weather, crop conditions, market demands and seasonal task needs and numerous other factors, it is impossible to predict with any degree of accuracy the percentage of time that will be dedicated to any specific task.
