Precision Agronomy & Operations Specialist - Gold Star FS - Atkinson, IL

We need to output only HTML fragment, no html/body tags, no markdown fences. We need to include sections only when posting has real specific content. Use

for headings: About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. We need to parse the posting. First, job title: Precision Agronomy & Operations Specialist (but we must not repeat as heading). So we start with maybe a short

for metadata? The posting includes DEPARTMENT: Crops, REPORTS TO: Plant Manager/Precision Sales Manager, SALARY: $17-23/hr, STATUS: Non-Exempt. Also purpose and summary statement. We need to preserve all substantive info, but remove boilerplate (EEO, etc). Also remove duplicated lines, navigation, cookie, legal, etc. The posting includes a lot of boilerplate at end: "We are an equal opportunity..." etc. Remove that. We need to include sections: About the role (purpose and summary statement). Responsibilities (Essential Job Functions). Requirements (Education & Experience). Qualifications? Might overlap with Requirements. Skills maybe separate? Benefits (they mention benefits package). Pay (they have salary range). Schedule? Not mentioned explicitly; they mention extended/flexible hours, travel, overnight stays as needed. That could be schedule info. But we should only include Schedule if posting actually states them. It does mention "work extended/flexible hours to meet seasonal demands" and "travel independently (including overnight stays as needed)". That's schedule-related. So we can include a Schedule section with that info. We must not create sections with filler like "commensurate with experience". We have actual content. We need to use

• for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. So we need to turn lists into
  • . For prose, use

    . We need to preserve all substantive info; do not invent or summarize away detail. Let's extract content. Purpose And Summary Statement: "A dual-focused position designed for agricultural graduates and professionals looking to build a comprehensive career in the ag retail business. This role bridges the gap between precision agronomy and hands-on fieldwork. The individual will work under the supervision of management to assist with precision data, sales strategies, customer service, and the direct operation and maintenance of field application equipment." That's prose. Essential Job Functions: multiple bullet-like sentences. We'll break into list items. Let's list them: - Learn and become proficient using GIS platforms (FieldAIytics), variable rate placement programs (Climate FieldView), and planning/billing software (Agvance). - Manage, maintain, and analyze customer field data (soil, planting, harvest, and inseason applications) to generate seasonal reports. - Create Variable Rate Fertilizer recommendations and Variable Rate Planting prescriptions. - Utilize target marketing and professional sales techniques, including the FS sales interview roadmap, to assist Crops Specialists in developing territory strategies. - Provide exceptional customer service by utilizing soil testing, crop scouting, and other agronomic programs. - Scout customer fields to diagnose issues and recommend tailored herbicide, fungicide, and insecticide applications. - Attend trainings, webinars, and schools to maintain expert-level knowledge of precision technology, seed, chemicals, and fertilizers. - Operate and maintain field agronomy machines and custom application equipment for maximum throughput and longevity. - Assist in scheduling, sorting, organizing, and delivering product and seed orders to patron locations. - Mix, blend, and load crop protection products, including creating application blend tickets in Agvance. - Deliver Ammonia Tanks to custom applicators and farmer-pulled toolbars; assist in the chemical loading bay and seed treating room. - Maintain accurate weekly seed inventory, place seed company signs, and complete weekly activity reports. That's a list. Education & Experience: "Normally requires at least a 2-year college degree in agronomy (or related field) OR 2+ years of sales/marketing/applicator experience demonstrating strong agricultural knowledge. Must possess or have the ability to obtain and maintain a Valid Driver's License with a good driving record, a CDL with Hazmat endorsement, and a Commercial Applicator's License. Must be able to lift a minimum of 70 lbs, travel independently (including overnight stays as needed), and work extended/flexible hours to meet seasonal demands. Proven professional communication, math proficiency (computing rates, ratios, percentages, and application blending metrics), and the ability to work independently or in a team-oriented environment. Willingness to obtain CCA (Certified Crop Adviser) certification (trainings and classes provided by the company)." We can split into Requirements (education/experience) and Skills maybe. But we have sections: Requirements, Qualifications, Skills. We need to decide what to put where. The instruction: Use headings for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can have multiple sections. We need to avoid thin sections; prefer few substantive sections. We could combine Requirements and Qualifications into one? But they are distinct headings; we could put education/experience under Requirements, and licenses/certifications under Qualifications, and skills under Skills. However we need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. We have real content for each. Let's parse: Education & Experience (the bullet list) includes education requirement, experience alternative, licenses, physical requirements, math proficiency, willingness to obtain CCA. We could treat: - Requirements: Education and experience (2-year degree or 2+ years experience). - Qualifications: Licenses (Driver's License, CDL Hazmat, Commercial Applicator's License), ability to lift 70 lbs, travel, extended/flexible hours. - Skills: Professional communication, math proficiency, ability to work independently/team, willingness to obtain CCA. But the posting also mentions "Willingness to obtain CCA (Certified Crop Adviser) certification (trainings and classes provided by the company)." That could be under Skills or Qualifications. We need to avoid duplication. Let's decide: Section Requirements: Education & Experience (degree or experience). Could also include "Must possess or have the ability to obtain and maintain a Valid Driver's License with a good driving record, a CDL with Hazmat endorsement, and a Commercial Applicator's License." That's more qualification. But we can keep Requirements as education/experience + licenses? Might be okay. Qualifications: Physical ability (lift 70 lbs), travel, extended/flexible hours. Skills: Communication, math proficiency, team/independent work, willingness to obtain CCA. But we need to ensure we don't create thin sections. Each will have substantive content. Benefits: "In addition to competitive pay, the company offers a comprehensive benefits package designed to support the well-being of our employees. Benefits may include retirement, health and wellness, paid time off, supplemental or incidental coverage, and more. Benefits eligibility may vary depending on the position." We have that. Pay: "SALARY: $17-23/hr" and also "Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, location, and other factors permitted by law. In addition to base pay, certain roles may be eligible for bonuses, incentives, and commissions." We have that. Schedule: "Must be able to lift a minimum of 70 lbs, travel independently (including overnight stays as needed), and work extended/flexible hours to meet seasonal demands." That's more about requirements but also schedule. We could put schedule info under Schedule section: "Work extended/flexible hours to meet seasonal demands; travel independently including overnight stays as needed." But we already used travel and hours in Qualifications/Skills. Might duplicate. Better to keep schedule separate: mention extended/flexible hours, overnight travel. We need to avoid duplication but preserve all info. Could keep travel/overnight in Schedule, and physical lift in Qualifications. Let's see. Let's extract schedule-specific: "work extended/flexible hours to meet seasonal demands" and "travel independently (including overnight stays as needed)". That's schedule. Physical lift: "Must be able to lift a minimum of 70 lbs" is a physical requirement, could be under Qualifications. Thus: - Requirements: Education/experience (degree or experience). - Qualifications: Licenses (Driver's License, CDL Hazmat, Commercial Applicator's License), ability to lift 70 lbs. - Skills: Professional communication, math proficiency, ability to work independently/team, willingness to obtain CCA. - Benefits: as described. - Pay: salary range plus bonus eligibility. - Schedule: extended/flexible hours, overnight travel. Now About the role: purpose and summary. Responsibilities: essential job functions list. Now we need to output HTML fragment with headings

    and content. We must not repeat job title as heading. We need to include maybe a short

    for metadata like DEPARTMENT, REPORTS TO? The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short

    or drop it." So we can include a short

    for DEPARTMENT: Crops, REPORTS TO: Plant Manager/Precision Sales Manager. Also STATUS: Non-Exempt maybe? But that's minor metadata. We'll include a short

    at top. We must not include boilerplate like EEO etc. Now produce HTML. Let's craft:
