Farm Journal maps the present and future of farming, food, technology and sustainability through the lens of 23 brands committed to every major agriculture and food production segment. Our brands generate 20 million monthly interactions across digital, video, radio and print sources. Farmers, ranchers, growers, packers, shippers and the industries that support them rely on Farm Journal’s brands to profitably grow their businesses.

Its exclusive research and data insights are so powerful that it earned Farm Journal recognition as one of the most innovative companies in the country, according to Fast Company business magazine.

Video storytelling is a point of pride at Farm Journal and we continue to expand. We have three nationally syndicated news programs – AgDay, U.S. Farm Report and Machinery Pete TV – that set the agenda for financial, political, current events and machinery issues in agriculture.

Last year, Farm Journal launched two new video platforms: a subscription video‑on‑demand (SVOD) service, Farm Journal TV, and a free ad‑supported television (FAST) channel, Farm Journal NOW. At the same time, our podcasts, You Tube channel and social media platforms have seen explosive growth.

We also operate a content studios division creating custom content for some of the biggest brands in agriculture.

Farm Journal seeks a photojournalist who will be part of the core production staff. The position will be responsible for contributing to all aspects of video production for the broadcast division, including field shooting, video editing, graphic design, social media, studio and podcast production.

We want someone who understands the news but is comfortable with modern methods of video storytelling: generating both horizontal and vertical deliverables, and utilizing multiple methods to capture compelling content (including drones and mobile phones).

Based out of our studio in Kansas City, this position will require significant travel, including some nights and weekends. When not traveling or in studio for scheduled production, this position will include work-from-home hours.
