Full job description

Cedar Ridge Agriculture is growing and adding a Crop Scout / Agronomy Assistant to our Lumberton operation.

About Cedar Ridge Agriculture

Cedar Ridge Agriculture is a family-owned North Carolina agriculture and livestock operations business based in Lumberton. Founded in 2015, we run 3 locations in the Sandhills and employ a tight team that values doing the work well over scale.

About the role

You'll walk fields and tell growers what's actually happening in them. Day to day you'll scout crops for weeds, insects, and disease, assess staging and stand counts, pull soil and tissue samples, and record observations with field mapping apps. You'll report findings to the agronomist, flag thresholds that justify action, and help with trial plots, equipment calibration, and grain or forage sampling through the season.

What you will bring

You bring agronomy training or farm experience and the discipline to scout thoroughly when it's hot, buggy, and tempting to drive past. You identify common regional weeds and pests, take clear notes, and enjoy working outdoors independently. A valid driver's licence is required.

Interested? Apply through this listing. First-round interviews typically within 10 business days.

Required Qualifications

  • Diploma or degree in agronomy, agriculture, or a related field (or equivalent farm experience)
  • Ability to identify common weeds, insects, and crop diseases
  • Valid driver's licence and comfort working outdoors in all conditions
  • Eligibility to work in Canada

Benefits

  • Quarterly safety-bonus eligibility
  • Annual paid time off accruing from start date
  • Health insurance after 90-day probation
  • Equipment-specific training paid by the operation
