During peak growing season, a Crop Scout spends most of their day traveling between fields, inspecting crops for signs of pests, diseases, nutrient deficiencies, and environmental stress. The role involves using technology such as GPS devices or mobile apps to record data and sometimes collect samples for further analysis.

Familiarity with GPS mapping tools, mobile scouting apps, and sometimes certification in crop advising or pesticide application is valuable. Strong observation skills, attention to detail, and clear communication help crop scouts accurately document findings and advise growers. These skills are essential to ensure early detection of issues and support effective crop management decisions.

About the Organization
Morning Glory Farm, started in 1975 by James and Deborah Athearn, grows about 65 acres of vegetables and small fruits on the island of Martha's Vineyard.
Small successive plantings of a wide variety of crops supply the Farmstand from May through December.
Crops include sweet corn, lettuce, carrots, beets, tomatoes, melons, potatoes, beans, squash, pumpkins, and more. Our herb garden supplies a full assortment of culinary herbs. We also raise four acres of cut flowers, and small plantings of strawberries, grapes, peaches, and beach plums.
We keep beef cows on pasture in Chilmark for which we harvest 45 acres of hay and we also produce eggs, pork and fresh, pasture-raised chickens to sell in the Farmstand. Twenty-three acres of our vegetable fields are farmed using natural practices and only OMRI certified fertilizers and pesticides. We manage the rest of our land with a minimum of pesticides and with attention to the long-term health of the soil.
The farm name grew from the vision of the sun rising over lush, green fields, cows with udders full of milk ambling past bountiful gardens and hedgerows lively with honeybees: true wealth of nature's glory.
Each year we meet a new crew of farmers, bakers, cooks, and Farmstand staff who become part of the farm family. The farm has benefited from a variety of wonderful people who have endowed Morning Glory with their own special contributions.
This position is currently accepting applications.
