Job Description

Description:

At JDH and each of our subsidiaries, we know that agriculture is about more than moving commodities—it’s about connecting people and building relationships that matter. Founded in 1886, we’ve been proudly family-owned for five generations, and our roots in the industry run deep. From our mills and storage facilities to our corporate offices, our jobs provide a safe and supportive place to grow and reach your potential.

Our experienced commodity traders manage grains, co-products, manufactured animal feed and animal feed ingredients. We work closely with a wide variety of origin markets to move commodities to destinations with demand. Using our extensive transportation network—including rail, truck and barge—we connect supply and demand across the U.S., Canada, Mexico and Asia.

But we don’t just trade commodities, we deliver reliability, value and the promise of doing what’s right. Whether it’s ensuring quality standards or finding innovative solutions, we’re here to challenge the status quo and keep the industry evolving.

With a wide variety of career opportunities, you can find your fit, whether it’s working at one of our feed mills, managing logistics, trucking items to their destination or balancing the books at one of our office locations.

At JDH, we value hard work and the drive to seek out what’s next. Together, with our team of dedicated professionals, we believe we’re building a better future for agriculture.
