About The Position

Grow with Confidence, Grow with Us ProAg has an exciting opportunity for a Crop Adjuster to join our team in North-West Texas. Imagine joining a team that’s part of an organization that shares your passion for American Agriculture. A team that understands the challenges ag producers face and the disproportionate financial risks they shoulder. How do you know this team has that passion and understanding?

You’ll stick with each claim for each grower until the work is done and the claim is settled. Reporting to the Area Claims Supervisor, you will work regularly in the field on the farms, climbing grain bins, walking over rough terrain for long distances, etc. You will apply your good judgment, common sense and understanding of ProAg's adjusting guidelines and policy provisions for a variety of Multi-Peril Crop Insurance, Crop Hail, and Named Peril policies. In this position, you will work from home and cover a territory that includes Texas. This position will require travel of up to 75%, occasionally even beyond your assigned territory.
