JOB DESCRIPTION:

Hansen AGRI-PLACEMENT is searching for a qualified Agronomy Tech for this Idaho based Agronomy Consulting Service. Are you passionate about agronomy, soil science, or the broader agricultural industry? This is an exceptional opportunity for an individual with an entrepreneurial mindset who wants to build a long-term career in agricultural consulting. This position offers a unique earn-as-you-learn environment, providing real-world exposure to soil science, agronomy, and client-based consulting.

The individual will gain direct, hands-on experience in soil consulting, client interaction, and agricultural business development. You will work closely with an experienced consultant, learning how to evaluate soils, develop recommendations, and build long-term relationships with agricultural producers.
