Agricultural Scientists

Work Environment

Agricultural scientists work regular hours, although they often choose to work longer when their experiments reach critical points. Competition in the research field may be stiff, causing a certain amount of stress.

Agricultural scientists generally work in offices, laboratories, or classrooms where the environment is clean, healthy, and safe. Some, such as botanists, periodically take field trips where living facilities may be primitive and strenuous physical activity may be required.
