STEM Career: Crop Farmer
Sometimes called agriculturists, crop farmers raise living organisms for food or raw materials. They identify the best soil area, prepare land for planting, plant, provide inputs, and harvest crops. They account for weather and seasonal changes in their planning and focus on the best methods for greatest yield.
Tools of the Trade
Geographic information systems, drones, high-tech rotary cutters, precision agricultural systems
Education Required
On-the-job training and an associate’s or bachelor’s degree in agriculture
