Do you love agriculture, thrive on building relationships, and want a career where your expertise directly helps growers succeed? The DeLong Co. is looking for a driven Sales Agronomist to join our team — someone who combines sharp agronomic knowledge with a genuine passion for helping growers improve their operations and profitability.

• Make a real impact — your recommendations directly affect growers' yields and bottom lines

• Enjoy the independence of managing your own territory with the support of an experienced team
• Clear career path to Agronomy Location Manager, Seed Location Manager, or Operations Manager

As a Sales Agronomist, you'll be the face of The DeLong Co. for your grower customers — building trusted relationships, understanding their unique needs, and delivering solutions that work. Day to day, you will:

• Grow and manage a book of business across fertilizer, chemical, application services, and seed products — while actively prospecting new grower relationships
• Scout fields, collect as-applied and yield data, and develop tailored hybrid placement and variable rate seeding recommendations
• Prepare and manage sales proposals, bookings, invoices, and contracts efficiently using Agvance, Connex, and other platforms
• Maintain detailed, up-to-date field and farm maps to support both growers and internal teams
• Coordinate product deliveries and application scheduling for your customer base
• Serve as a trusted resource for growers — addressing questions, resolving concerns quickly, and keeping them informed
• Collaborate with the Agronomy and Seed Division Managers to set and achieve annual sales goals

Required:

• Strong agricultural and seed product knowledge
• Excellent communication skills — comfortable in person, on the phone, by text, and email
• Willingness to put in extra hours during peak seasons
• High school diploma or equivalent
• Valid driver's license and proof of auto insurance
• Ability (or willingness) to obtain a Class A CDL and Commercial Applicator's License within 6 months of hire
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work in varied outdoor conditions

Preferred:

• Bachelor's degree in Agronomy, Agriculture, or a related field
• Prior sales or agronomic consulting experience
• Proficiency in Excel, Word, and ag-specific platforms
