Careers

AgState is a company anchored by strong financials and a long history in agriculture. We draw strength from our forward-focused leadership.

Our career opportunities offer an open door to the good life in one of the friendly, small towns we serve. The people who work for AgState in our close-knit communities get to know and understand customers one-to-one.

Our corporate culture is unique. We encourage employees to find their voice and lean into new challenges and responsibilities. This means you’ll never feel locked into your first job with us. We want to know your long-term goals, and we’ll work with you to make them happen.

Building Our Team

Team building is important at AgState as we strive for a unified organization. Taking time out of the office to work on team development, creative thinking and simply just getting away from the phones and computers has been a welcome experience. We also take time to listen and hear concerns to make this a great place to work.

 

Internship Program

AgState actively recruits college students to participate in our internship program. Our interns gain real-life work experience that builds upon lessons learned in the classroom.

Our philosophy is to engage our students in partnerships with our best salespeople, managers, and production supervisors to ensure they experience the full scope of our company. Each intern receives opportunities to explore areas of personal interest in addition to the job they are assigned.

We pride ourselves in creating a win-win situation that makes this experience beneficial for the student and the company. Internships often lead to full-time employment, and every year we hire agronomy and precision-ag interns.
