In FY2026 (through Q2), the Department of Labor certified 1,465 H-2A positions for worksites in Nevada — #36 among all states — across 122 employer applications. The median offered wage was $16.63/hour (middle half of offers: $16.63–$16.63).
Hiring season
68% of certified positions in Nevada start in March, April or February, and a typical season runs about 8.1 months. Employers file with the DOL a median of 67 days before the start date — so openings for a March start typically show up on SeasonalJobs.dol.gov around January.

How people get these jobs
The H-2A visa lets U.S. employers hire foreign workers for temporary agricultural work — planting, harvesting, packing, nursery and greenhouse work, livestock and dairy. The employer, not the worker, starts the process: they must first offer the job to U.S. workers, get the Department of Labor certification shown on this page, and then petition USCIS for the visas.
Every certified opening must be posted publicly on the DOL's official registry, SeasonalJobs.dol.gov — that is the place to search and apply for current openings. Beware of anyone charging workers "visa fees": recruitment fees charged to H-2A workers are illegal.
