    Job Description

    Why Deerpoint Exists
    We believe agriculture deserves better than guesswork.
    Farming is high stakes and increasingly complex, yet crop nutrition has long been treated as a commodity, applied in batches, evaluated after the fact, and disconnected from real time conditions. That model creates unnecessary risk and leaves value on the table for growers.
    Deerpoint exists to change that.
    Our mission is to transform fertilizer from a raw input into a managed, measurable system, helping growers reduce risk and maximize profitability. We believe growers deserve a partner who owns the outcome, not just the recommendation, one who is accountable for what happens in the field.
    How Deerpoint Delivers Value to Farmers
    We deliver by taking full responsibility for execution, end to end.
    Rather than selling products only, Deerpoint designs, delivers, measures, and continuously refines field specific nutrition programs throughout the season. We integrate agronomy, technology, chemistry, and data into a single operating system that works every day.
    Our approach is defined by:
    • Real time measurement, not assumptions
    • Continuous adjustment, not static plans
    • Transparency, not black boxes
    • Partnership, not prescriptions
    These principles show up in how we work, with growers and with each other. We own outcomes, show up when it matters, communicate openly, and collaborate across teams to deliver results. Trust is built through follow through.
     
     
    What Deerpoint Does
    Deerpoint is not a fertilizer company or a retailer.
    We are a complete crop nutrition solutions company.
    We design and operate field level nutrition systems through:
    • Continuous fertigation automation via our proprietary White Box® platform
    • Field specific programs that adjust in real time
    • Soil, tissue, and water sampling supported by lab validated feedback
    • Proprietary fertilizer and foliar formulations engineered to perform within the system
    The result is a nutrition program that is measurable, repeatable, and accountable, helping growers perform better today while building more resilient operations for the future.
     
    What We Offer
    Along with meaningful work and clear opportunity for growth, Deerpoint Group offers an industry leading compensation and benefits package, including:
    • Competitive base salary
    • Performance based commission plan
    • 401(k) with 4% employer contribution
    • Discretionary profit sharing potential of up to 2%
    • Medical, dental, and vision benefits
    • Company paid life insurance, disability coverage, and EAP
    • Paid vacation that increases with tenure
    • 10 paid holidays per year
