Now that you’ve submitted your resume and qualifications, our hiring team will your review your information to see if it aligns with the position you’ve applied to. At this stage we’re looking to verify if you meet the basic requirements for the position (ex: Skills, experience, education, etc.). This stage of the process typically takes 1-5 days.
Things to do while you wait:
If the foundation of a solid nutrient management program begins with a soil test, than the foundation of your job search starts with a self-assessment. Just as soil test helps us to understand what the soil has and, even more importantly, what it doesn’t, your self-assessment should serve a similar purpose.
Why should you do this? It’s simple, because we understand that landing a new job is only part of the journey. When going through the process of applying to a new position, it’s important to consider the things that you may be good at but not passionate about, the things that you may be passionate about and would like to explore, and ultimately what tools, resources or environment you need in order to address these areas.
By taking these steps before applying, you can help set the foundation for ensuring that you start your position in the right seat.
When conducting your self-assessment, here are a few areas to think about:
After you’ve completed the interview process our hiring team will meet to make a decision. To ensure that we uphold the integrity of our process and hire the right candidate, we review your whole interview journey with us and solicit feedback from all of the members who participated in the hiring process before making the decision.
If you are selected, our Recruiter will contact you to extend an offer of employment and discuss steps for beginning your employment.
If a soil test is the foundation of a solid nutrient management program than the interview is our crop and soil recommendations in action. In other words, our interviews are where we do the heavy lifting. At this stage of our process we want to get to know you and we want you to get to know us. Depending on the role the process may vary, but they all have the same goal: to make sure you end up in the right seat. One of the ways that we do that is by creating an interview experience that allows for both parties to have open, authentic and insightful conversations.
At the end of your interview we want to make sure that we all walk away knowing the important things that will allow both parties to make the best decision. Some of those important things include:
We’ve also incorporated a variety of different elements into our interview process such as:
If your skills and experience appear to be a potential match to the position our Recruiter will contact you via phone or email to schedule a phone screen. Our phone screens are typically 30 minute calls where we ask you a series of questions designed to verify you meet the basic requirements of the position and it also serves as an introduction between the organization and the candidate.
This is a short, but important stage so it’s best to approach it the same way you would an interview: be clear about your experience, skills and knowledge, be prepared to discuss your motivations for pursuing the position and make sure you’re in an environment that is suitable for us to speak.
The first stage of our process begins with submitting your Resume to our hiring team. This will lay the groundwork for our team to get an overview of your skills, experience and professional background so we strongly encourage you to present a resume that accurately reflects who you are.
Here are a few resume tips to help you put your best foot forward:

A note on Cover letters, transcripts, etc. – These are completely optional and have no weight on our evaluation if you do or don’t include them. However, if you choose to do so be sure to detail information that places context to your resume and gives us a better understanding of your background.
Do you have a product that will help me with foiiar feeding. My coastal Bermuda hay.
Hi Warren, Thanks for the question:
Foliar feeding coastal Bermuda hay is a good way to increase the nutrients that can be absorbed. Normally on a more heavy nutrient use crop like Bermuda hay growers apply a base fertility program, and use foliar applications to supplement or push the crop to desired yield goals.
Agro-Culture Liquid’s product ferti-Rain is a balanced nutrient formulation that would help supply N, P, K, secondary nutrients, and some micro nutrients. I would apply at a 3 gal per acre rate with at least an equal amount of water during high nutrient demand periods throughout the season with applications being at least 3 weeks apart.
Another option to increase nitrogen to the crop would be to use Agrio-Culture Liquid’s product Nresponse. This is a lower salt index N product that would supply increased nitrogen without the P and K. I would apply at a 2 gal per acre rate with water as a carrier. Total spray volumes should be approximately 7-10 gallon per acre. Again applications should be made at high nutrient demand periods throughout the season with applications being at least 3 weeks apart.
When applying foliar nutrient applications to coastal Bermuda hay best responses will be seen when applications are made at temperatures below 90 degrees, with total spray volumes around 7-10 gallon per acre, with sprayer pressure set at 50+ psi, and at higher humidity levels.
I would like to know if I can use your product on my midland 99 bermudagrass with increase in production and protein for less money? I use 300 # of 46 nitrogen (dry) every 3-4 weeks with plenty of irrigation and usually produce 5,000 # of hay Per cutting at 20% protein. I feel like I’m having to use more nitrogen than necessary. I cut hay every 3-4 weeks with the same application of nitrogen and about 100# of potash per acre per year. I’m looking for a cheaper fertilizer with the same results that I experience now. Please advise
Hi Mike,
For your Bermuda grass cutting cycle of every 3-4 weeks the urea you are using actually fits well. A couple of things I would suggest though to maybe get more efficiency from the urea would be consider adding in some sulfur, grass crops like a 14-1 ratio of N to S. To achieve that ratio with the 300# of 46-0-0 you would need to add in 9.85 pounds of S along with the urea. I’ve had many growers who do this to increase protein and tonnage, but I’ve also had growers reduce the urea applications 10-15% because they are getting more usability from the N they apply. The other thing I would suggest is adding in some of the potash you are referring to in each of the urea applications, K is a quality nutrient and having it more available throughout the season can again increase quality and tonnage.
Foliar feeding Bermuda grass will be difficult as it is a heavy nutrient use crop, and foliar feeding can normally only get 2-3% of the crops annual nutrient needs into the plant at one time. Foliar feeding would be a good idea to add to any crop protection applications or to push a crop during high stress and heavy nutrient uptake periods. For those applications I would suggest using 3 gallon of Agro-Culture Liquid’s product ferti-Rain.
Thanks
