A family owned business is looking to add a Crop Consultant to their organization. This is a non-sales role and would be a great fit for a retail sales agronomist who’s looking to move away from the long hours typically associated with retail agronomy, but still likes building and maintaining relationships with farmers.
The company provides comprehensive crop, soil, and manure management services to local farmers.
Responsibilities:
· Give recommendations on Seed, Fertilizer and Chemical inputs
· Continuing education on Agronomy products
· Develop and maintain relationships with new and current customers
· Perform crop scouting
· Manage Irrigation Sensor Clients
· Collect Soil Samples
Requirements:
· Self-motivated and success driven
· 3-5+ years of Agronomy experience preferred
· Degree in Agronomy, Ag Business or related field is highly preferred
· Certified Crop Advisor (CCA) preferred
· Strong work ethic, dependable
· Project management skills
· Microsoft Offices, especially Excel and Outlook
Expectations:
· Will work primarily in the McBain, MI area and visit the Bay Port, MI office 3-4 times each month
· Focus on learning - stay current with industry practices; training is supported
· Develop relationships - impact positive outcomes for farmers
· Long days will occasionally be necessary to accomplish goals
· Can work in physical environment: sample pulling from ATV, in potentially adverse weather
Compensation:
The best part? There are no crop input sales involved—this is purely a consulting role, focused on making recommendations that truly benefit the farmers.
