Farm alert - UK - Farmers hang on to your hoe.  You might want to look long

these fecal fertlizers because use of these sludges may lose you customers.

  Many food and beverage manufacturers will not purchase crops grown in 
sludged fields.

Geographically Britain's largest water company, Anglian Water serves more 
that 2.6 million customers throughout East Anglia and the Midlands. Every 
day, we supply over one billion litres of water via a network of 36,000 
kilometres of water mains. But our services don't stop there. With 1,077 
sewage treatment plants, we ensure that wastes are properly treated and 
recycled into a valuable product. Nutri-bio has enormous potential as an 
agricultural aid and is rich in organic material, nitrogen, phosphate, 
sulphur and magnesium. What's more, it can be used year round and we offer 
customers soil sampling together with delivery.

1 year fixed-term contract
East Norfolk and Suffolk

As an Anglian Water Farm Sales Advisor you'll be responsible for the sales 
of nutri-bio organic fertiliser and soil conditioning products to the 
agricultural market. Nutri-bio is the final product of sewage treatment 
known as biosolids and offers farmers enormous savings on agronomic inputs 
with our value for money soil sampling, delivery and year round application 
service.

Liaising directly with landowners and contractors, your excellent customer 
support skills will allow you to stress the benefits of nutri-bio over 
regular fertilisers, while working alongside our soil technicians to sample 
and report on each farmer's unique requirements. You'll also provide 
technical support, negotiate contracts and co-ordinate day-to-day spreading 
activities.

Though an HND or degree in a soil science related subject would be 
advantageous, what's more important is farming or farm sales experience and 
excellent standards of customer service. Self-motivation, IT skills and an 
ability to work well on your own initiative are also highly desirable. You 
must have a full, clean driving licence and enjoy the prospect of frequent 
travel between our production centres across East Norfolk and Suffolk.

For the above posts, we can offer full training, an attractive salary, 
company car and a benefits package that includes a generous bonus scheme, 
contributory pension, healthcare and relocation assistance.
