Need a career change? New scenery? Ever been to Moscow?

Your Reading List

If you are an agrologist with experience with pasture, have
I got a job for you. Okay, it may be in Moscow, but it is still a great
opportunity.

This is like one of those “a friend, of a friend, of a
friend” stories, but word recently came through the email grapevine, that a
company in Russia is looking for a pasture agrologist and they’d like someone
from Western Canada. I don’t think my honorary membership in the Alberta
Institute of Agrologist qualifies.

I will get around to the job posting in a minute…this

opportunity came to me via Al Hingston, who use to be a beef specialist in
Saskatchewan, before moving to the Ukraine to become a consultant. He sent a
note to Duane McCartney, one of those really old range and pasture experts
retired from Ag Canada, and Duane sent it on to Grant Lastikwa,
grazing/forage/beef specialist in Alberta and Grant sent it on to people on his
forage distribution list. So by now it is probably one of the most widely distributed
job opportunities in email and grazing history.

Here is the Job Posting:

Gentlemen

Pasture manager; agronomist, having knowledge of
soil tilling, planting scheduling, grass mixtures options.
