Agribusiness Technicians

Exploring This Job

Try to get summer or part-time employment in your desired specialty—for example, a clerical job in a farm insurance agency or as a laborer in a feed and grain company. Because many technical colleges offer evening and online courses, obtaining permission during your senior year to audit a course or even to take it for future college credit may be possible. Work experience on a farm will give you insight into the business concerns of farmers, as will industry periodicals such as Farm Journal (http://www.farmjournal.com). Join your high school's chapter of the National FFA Organization or a local 4-H group, where you can work on farm-management projects.
