Guide to Agriculture Jobs

Get familiar with the industry and start an in-demand agriculture career


Jobs in agriculture are not what they once were. They have become highly skilled, technical, and in some cases, lucrative. In addition to the traditional agricultural jobs planting crops or tending animals, there are also careers in agriculture which involve working with computers, accounting software and tractor guidance systems, developing disease-resistant seeds, managing markets or selling all types of products and equipment to producers.

Agriculture employment in the US is higher than in most other industries, partly because the field of agriculture has become big business and agriculture jobs are so diverse. Approximately one third of all the land in the US is used for agriculture and, despite the decline in small family farms, agricultural business careers are taking off.

Agriculture careers can be categorized into five areas:

1. Production
2. Research
3. Technology
4. Markets
5. Sales jobs in agriculture
