I think at the core of every human being we desire to leave a legacy. Something to be proud of and to be happy in what we do every day. To work with people who care for each other and to do things to the best of our abilities. To be able to be challenged in our work.
Employment
JSGS is fortunate to have a great team of dedicated, talented, and experienced employees. Our team is made up of 20 people between full-time and part-time positions. Most of our employees live within 20 miles of our home base. We are conveniently located 5 miles south of Aplington in Grundy County, IA.
We offer competitive hourly pay, paid time off, health insurance, employer retirement match, and other employee bonuses and incentives. We have a great employee retention rate here at JSGS. We pride ourselves on being thorough, timely, and professional. We have a good reputation because of the great team of people here at JSGS.
We have nice, well-maintained equipment that is serviced in-house regularly and kept clean and smoke-free. All equipment is parked inside our heated shops. We have a heated wash bay, a drive-out pit for servicing equipment, a parts room, a breakroom, offices, and a work area.
Grain Handlers
We are looking for individuals who can operate grain vacuums. As a grain vac operator, you will load grain into semis from grain bins. You must be timely and organized and be able to lift at least 40 pounds. We will train on equipment.
We work with seed companies, grain elevators, and farmers. We are capable of small jobs and bigger jobs alike. We have good working relationships with a lot of local clients. They trust us to come in and do a good and efficient job.
Trucking Specialists
We are looking for Class A CDL drivers with a clean driving record. As a JSGS driver, you will haul grain, mostly around the state of Iowa. You must be timely and organized. Experience is not required but is a plus. We haul mostly seed, grain, and fertilizer for different clients. We have several hoppers and one van trailer.
Our semis are nice, well-maintained trucks and are parked inside our heated shop. You can feel comfortable driving our trucks, knowing that they are serviced in-house by our full time service team.
A note from the Owner,
If you are looking for a career in agriculture where you will be home every night, work with caring coworkers, and enjoy a variety of day-to-day work, then working at Johnson Seed & Grain might be a fit for you. Most of our employees rotate between truck driving and grain vacuuming regularly. Both of these jobs require you to be in shape with no lifting restrictions.
We leave pretty early in the morning, but you will be home in time to have supper with your families most days. Our team averages 48 hours per work week (Monday-Friday), with overtime starting after 40 hours. We offer a competitive wage, paid time off, health insurance, employer retirement match, and other employee bonuses and incentives.
We are looking for individuals to join our team who have a good work ethic and want to put in an honest day's work. You will notice the family-feel atmosphere that we have here at JSGS. We work hard to keep things simple, yet professional.
We also have a farming operation called Impact Farms LLC. You may also be involved seasonally in some farming activities.
Respectfully,
Eric Johnson Family
