Thinking Food Jobs, May 30, 2025
I spent some time last week in central Indiana, which brought me in closer proximity to (and hence thinking about) agriculture on a larger scale than I usually encounter at home. For others who are inclined to be thinking about agriculture this week I am spotlighting the following opportunities:
Alpha Media, based in Fort Dodge Iowa, is hiring an news/communications professional with a background in agriculture and enthusiasm for informing both agricultural and non-agricultural audiences to serve as Agriculture Director
Lee Enterprises, in Sioux Falls, SD, is looking for a storyteller who is passionate about agriculture and rural life for an open position as Agriculture Reporter
The Illinois Farm Bureau needs a Radio & Digital Content Coordinator to produce radio shows that address issues affecting farmers
MAD Agriculture seeks a remote Journalism and Research Fellow to work on stories of regenerative agriculture, ecological resilience, and transformative food systems
Here is the rest of this week’s positions. A selection of internships is at the bottom of the list.
