Agriculture Retail Manager

I spend a lot of time in the office planning, making calls, and managing budgets. But the best part of my job is training staff and talking with customers in the store or helping them load up their purchases. I enjoy being part of a team that supports farmers and helps them get the supplies they need to succeed.
