Agricultural Content & Media Specialist

Linder Farm Network is looking for an enthusiastic, curious and creative person to join our team as an Agricultural Content & Media Specialist.

This is an entry-level opportunity for someone who is interested in agriculture, news, broadcasting, social media and digital content — and wants the opportunity to learn.

You do not need years of experience in broadcasting or agriculture to be successful in this position. We are willing to train the right person.

The ideal candidate might be a recent two- or four-year college graduate, someone with a background in agriculture or communications, or someone who has gained valuable experience outside of college. A rural or farm background is a plus, but it is not required. More important is a willingness to learn, an ability to communicate, curiosity about agriculture and current events, and an interest in creating content that connects with farmers and rural communities.

What You’ll Do

• Gather, write and produce agricultural news and information for Linder Farm Network
• Develop content for our website and social media platforms
• Post and manage stories, interviews and other content across social media
• Help create engaging digital content, including photos, video and audio
• Interview farmers, agricultural leaders, experts and others in the industry
• Follow agricultural markets, weather, policy and other issues important to farmers
• Assist with the day-to-day operation of our agricultural news and information service
• Receive on-air training and develop your skills as a farm broadcaster
• Have opportunities to report and eventually appear on the radio as a part-time farm broadcaster

What We’re Looking For

We’re more interested in potential than a long résumé.

You might be a great fit if you:

• Have an interest in agriculture and rural communities
• Enjoy writing, interviewing people and telling stories
• Understand social media and enjoy creating or sharing content
• Are comfortable learning new technology and digital tools
• Can communicate clearly and professionally
• Are curious and willing to ask questions
• Are comfortable talking with people and developing relationships
• Have an interest in radio, broadcasting or journalism
• Can work independently while also being part of a team

A farm or rural background is a definite plus. Experience in journalism, communications, social media, agriculture, broadcasting or digital content is helpful — but we are willing to train the right person.

A two-year or four-year degree in agriculture, communications, journalism, marketing, broadcasting or a related field is welcome, but a college degree is not required for the right candidate.

Why This Position Is Different

This isn’t a job where you’ll be expected to arrive knowing how to do everything.

You’ll have the opportunity to learn agricultural journalism, digital content creation, social media and farm broadcasting from an experienced team. If you have the interest and the ability to communicate, we’ll help you develop the skills.

It’s an opportunity to build a career in agricultural media while working directly with the people and issues that matter to rural Minnesota.

If you’d like to learn more about this opportunity to get involved with the broadcast & agriculture industry, please send your resume to Aaron Ziemer at jobs@marshallradio.net
