Grain Merchants

Exploring This Job

If you live in an agricultural community with grain elevators, you might be able to find part-time or seasonal work with a farming cooperative or other grain purchasing organization. It may also be possible to get part-time work at a commodities exchange to learn about the profession from that angle. In addition, some school work-study programs provide opportunities for part-time, on-the-job training with grain elevators. Also, consider joining your school's chapter of the National FFA Organization to learn more about the role of agriculture in today's society.
