The National Association of State Departments of Agriculture (NASDA) is currently seeking part-time capable individuals to undertake tasks that support our organization and provide a fulfilling experience for all employees. Prior experience in sales or agriculture, working with diverse personalities, and possessing basic mathematical skills are highly desirable.

The Field Enumerator plays a vital role in supporting agricultural producers by collecting accurate and unbiased data, providing essential information that farmers, ranchers, rural communities, and other agricultural businesses rely on. An enumerator conducts interviews in a professional and representative manner, effectively communicating benefits in all survey-related activities through in-depth interviews with a diverse range of agricultural operations in person and over the telephone, as well as conducting crop counts in designated agricultural fields.

All enumerators undergo comprehensive training for specific studies on animal and plant health, farming practices, procedures, and various questionnaires required to perform the job effectively. Responsibilities require result-oriented individuals to enter their detailed data gathered from agricultural operators in a timely manner, report daily progress, time, and mileage. The field enumerator is provided on-the-job training, flexibility, opportunities for professional advancement, and starts at $17.75, plus mileage reimbursement and required supplies.

It is mandatory to have a private workspace with a functional telephone and minimal distractions; a maintained personal vehicle for travel related to field enumerator duties; a flexible schedule that may include some evenings and weekends to meet deadlines (weather, seasonal farm responsibilities, and community functions may affect work hours); proficiency in computer systems and/or iPads; experience working in a deadline-driven environment with multiple tasks; the ability to examine crop status in corn or soybean fields, lift/carry up to 40 lbs., walk unassisted on uneven ground for up to 100 yards; and the ability to travel up to 250 miles on a quarterly basis for training, as needed.

If you would like to be considered for this rewarding Field Enumerator opportunity, there is a quick 3-minute mobile-friendly application for you to start the process. We look forward to hearing from you!
