Agricultural Professions

Agriculture is the mainstay of our economy. It is more than just farming. Agriculture is one of the world’s biggest businesses. It is everywhere. Many other industries are connected with it. Agriculture does not just deal with food. Other agricultural products and by-products give people cotton, wool, leather, tobacco, bio fuel and what not.

There are a lot of different career areas available in this industry. There is also presently a very high demand for trained, educated and well motivated young people to enter this sector of economy.

To prepare such specialists is the main task of different educational establishments: vocational schools, technical colleges, universities. They offer a choice of several specializations, such as managers, economists, accountants, marketing analysts, lawyers, agronomists, veterinarians, livestock experts, food technologists, landscape architects, civil engineers, surveyors and other. They all need deep knowledge and professional skills.

Agricultural economists develop skills that help them find success in sales, marketing and finance careers.

Agricultural managers usually do not plant, harvest or perform other production activities, instead, they hire and supervise farm and livestock workers. Their duties vary widely, but are concentrated on the business aspects of running a farm.

The laws and regulations relating to agriculture are some of the most extensive and complex of those of any other industry. That’s why the task of lawyers is to provide agriculture with law support.

Agronomists study and research the interactions among plants, soils and the environment. They deal with field crops and soil management.

Keeping machines in good working order is the primary responsibility of machinery mechanics. They must be able to discover the cause of a problem to repair it.

Veterinarians must be ready to diagnose, treat and help prevent diseases and disabilities in animals.

Livestock experts work to develop better, more efficient ways of producing and processing meat, eggs, and milk. Most of their work concerns livestock, such as pigs, cows, chickens, and horses. They cover all aspects of animals from their diets to physiology to consumption.

Food technologists usually work in the food processing industry. They use their knowledge of chemistry, physics, microbiology, biotechnology and other sciences to develop new or better ways of preserving, processing, packaging, storing and delivering foods.

As it can be seen agriculture is an industry with a great number of jobs. It incorporates many different skills and employs people with a wide variety of interests, which shows that there is a job for everyone in agriculture.
