Agronomist

Agronomist Position

The Holganix team is looking for an Agronomist to empower growers with regenerative agriculture solutions that improve soil vitality, increase yields, and reduce input dependency. At Holganix, we revolutionize the way the world grows by manufacturing and distributing a liquid microbial solution (think of it as a probiotic for soil) to primarily farmers (but also landscapers, golf courses, and performance turf users) across America and Canada. Our solution dramatically increases soil health, ultimately improving crop yield and reducing the need for other inputs like fertilizer, pesticides, and water. Additionally, our solution significantly impacts carbon sequestration in the soil and improves the carbon intensity score of a crop.

We strive to be a diverse and connected team of humble and confident problem solvers who are excited as our team and mission grow! Thanks to our farmers, we are growing fast, and you will be tasked to help with a host of different tasks that will give you options to grow within the company and learn things you might not have learned at a larger company.

This position is located within the Eastern Iowa territory. Candidates MUST reside within the territory to be considered.
