Sales Agronomist

Location: Mayview, MO 

Job Type: Full-Time | $60,000 – $85,000 + Bonus + Company Vehicle

Not every agronomist wants to sit behind a desk or spend their days in a lab. If you are someone who would rather be walking fields, talking to farmers, and building relationships that actually mean something — we built this role for you.

Ray-Carroll County Grain Growers is a farmer-owned cooperative that has been serving Missouri agriculture since 1931. The farmers you will work with are not just customers — they are the owners of this cooperative. That changes the nature of every conversation. This is not a transactional sales job. It is relationship work, and the people on the other end of it have been farming this land their whole lives.

We are looking for a Sales Agronomist to join our team at our Mayview location and take ownership of an established territory serving corn, soybean, and wheat growers across the region.

What your days will actually look like:

Spring and fall are your busiest seasons — you are out on farms, walking fields, pulling soil samples, checking on test plots, and making sure your growers have what they need before they need it. You will put together agronomic recommendations, work closely with our applicator team, and be the person your customers call when something is not right. In between seasons you are planning, prospecting, and building the kind of trust that keeps growers coming back year after year.

Year one is about learning the territory and earning the relationships. The growth opportunity from there is real — there is acreage to be gained west and south of Mayview and we want someone who eventually gets hungry for it.

The Mayview location is rural and sits about 40 minutes from Richmond. If you are someone who would rather spend that commute time on a country road than in city traffic — and who appreciates that slow weather days mean less time on the road, not more — you will feel right at home here.

You are the right fit if:

• You grew up around agriculture and are genuinely comfortable in a field and in a conversation
• You have some sales experience or the natural instinct to build and grow a book of business
• You know corn, soybeans, and wheat — not just from a textbook
• You can work independently, manage your own schedule, and hold yourself accountable
• GPS and soil mapping software does not intimidate you
• CCA certification is a plus but we will hire the right person without it

We welcome candidates from all backgrounds and are actively working to bring more diverse voices into our industry. If you have the skills and the drive, we want to hear from you.

What is in it for you:

• Base salary of $60,000 to $85,000 depending on your experience
• Performance bonus of $5,000 to $15,000 tied to seed and agronomy sales profit — the better your territory does, the better your check
• A company vehicle you take home — no mileage logs, no reimbursement hassle
• $60 per month cell phone allowance
• 401(k) with a 4% company match plus a pension plan — two retirement vehicles, not one
• A team that has been doing this for over 80 years and is not going anywhere

This is a career, not just a job. Apply today and let's see if we are a fit.
