YOUR IMPACT
You will focus on accelerating sustainable and inclusive growth through deep sector expertise and leveraging advanced analytics to shape clients' strategies, boost productivity, and drive innovation across the global food system.
You will both support the Agriculture Practice more broadly and join a client service team and take ownership of a workstream to solve some of the toughest challenges our clients face.
You will dive into multiple aspects of a client engagement—whether you are analyzing market data, testing hypotheses, developing investment strategies, or presenting recommendations. Acting as a critical thought partner and sector expert, you will provide market intelligence and actionable insights that shape the strategic decisions of our private capital and agriculture clients.
Your work will help clients reach their goals and create lasting improvements in their industries by translating complex market dynamics into compelling investment narratives, driving client success, and strengthening the firm's thought leadership in the agriculture sector.
On both client engagements and with the Agriculture Practice, you will drive strategic insights by tracking and interpreting global agriculture and agribusiness market trends, ranging from crop and livestock dynamics to agricultural infrastructure. In this capacity, you will develop forward-looking views on pricing, margins, and industry inflection points to help clients successfully navigate risks and second-order effects. Additionally, you will deliver competitive intelligence by applying an equity-analyst mindset to monitor leading agribusiness players and building robust, repeatable frameworks to evaluate revenue growth, cost structures, and strategic positioning across various cycles and regions.
To accelerate client impact, you will directly support strategy and due diligence engagements by proactively shaping hypotheses and injecting fact-based sector context into case teams, allowing you to rapidly address critical questions on market sizing, competitive dynamics, and growth. Furthermore, you will shape thought leadership by distilling complex datasets into clear, data-driven narratives, charts, and insights tailored for senior audiences, which will directly fuel client discussions, internal leadership forums, and external publications.
Finally, you will empower the practice by serving as a trusted advisor to senior consultants, partners, and practice leadership. By communicating your insights with clarity and confidence, you will ultimately help strengthen the credibility, consistency, and market positioning of our Ag Insights team.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship in Agriculture
Match your degree to PERM job requirements
PERM requires the employer to specify a minimum education level in the job description. If your foreign agronomy or agricultural science degree doesn't clearly align, get a credential evaluation before applying so employers can confidently list your qualification.
Target employers with E-Verify enrollment history
Agriculture employers who are already enrolled in E-Verify have demonstrated readiness to navigate federal employment eligibility systems, which often correlates with willingness to sponsor PERM-based green cards for skilled foreign hires.
Search green card sponsors using Migrate Mate
Use Migrate Mate to filter agriculture employers by green card sponsorship history. This lets you focus your applications on operations that have already completed PERM filings for similar roles, cutting out the guesswork of cold outreach.
Verify your role qualifies as a specialty occupation
Not all agriculture positions support EB-2 sponsorship. Review the O*NET profile for your specific role to confirm it typically requires a bachelor's degree or higher in a directly related field before pursuing an advanced-degree petition.
Ask employers about prevailing wage tiers early
PERM requires your offered wage to meet the DOL prevailing wage for your location and job title. Use the OFLC Wage Search to check the Level I through Level IV wage range before negotiating your offer, so you can flag mismatches before the filing starts.
Understand EB-3 filing timelines for agricultural roles
EB-3 PERM filings for agriculture roles involve a supervised recruitment period that typically runs three to six months before USCIS even receives the I-140 petition. Build this into your job transition timeline so you don't let your current status lapse.
Green Card Agriculture: Frequently Asked Questions
Which agriculture roles qualify for EB-2 versus EB-3 green card sponsorship?
EB-2 applies to agriculture roles requiring an advanced degree or candidates with strong professional credentials, such as agricultural scientists, agronomists with master's degrees, or irrigation engineers. EB-3 covers skilled workers and professionals in roles requiring at least a bachelor's degree or two years of training, including farm managers and soil conservationists. The employer's job description and your credentials determine which category applies.
How does PERM green card sponsorship differ from H-1B for agriculture jobs?
H-1B visa is a temporary visa subject to an annual lottery cap, while PERM-based green card sponsorship leads to permanent residency and has no equivalent lottery at the EB-3 level for most countries. The PERM process requires DOL-supervised recruitment and can take 12 to 24 months before USCIS adjudicates the I-140 petition, but the outcome is lawful permanent residency rather than a time-limited work authorization.
Can seasonal or contract agriculture employers sponsor a green card?
PERM sponsorship requires a permanent, full-time job offer, so seasonal or temporary positions generally don't qualify. The employer must demonstrate an ongoing need for the role. Year-round operations in agricultural research, food production management, or agribusiness administration are better candidates for PERM filings than harvest-cycle or contract arrangements.
How do I find agriculture employers who have sponsored green cards before?
Use Migrate Mate to search agriculture jobs filtered by employers with verified green card sponsorship history. Focusing on companies that have previously completed PERM filings for similar roles significantly increases the likelihood that an employer understands the process and is willing to commit to the timeline and costs involved.
Does a foreign agricultural science degree support a PERM petition in the U.S.?
Yes, but you'll need a credential evaluation from a NACES-approved evaluator confirming your degree is equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's or master's degree in the relevant field. USCIS and DOL both rely on this evaluation during PERM and I-140 adjudication. A degree in agronomy, soil science, agricultural engineering, or a closely related field typically satisfies EB-2 or EB-3 educational requirements when properly evaluated.
