This reporter must be able to:
-Develop a wide network of sources within agriculture companies and industry
-Spot and execute a range of stories, from breaking news to enterprise and investigative stories
-Write with clarity and color and context
-Write with the interests of general readers in mind
-Collaborate with other Times reporters
-Embrace editing
-Be a self starter
This job will be located in the Midwest.
