Agriculture is a vital component of our local, state, and national economies and offers many exciting employment opportunities. The Ag Bus Program is designed to prepare students for employment in an entry-level agriculture business-related career.
Farm and Ranch Managers plan, direct, or coordinate the management or operations of farms, ranches, greenhouses, aquacultural operations, nurseries, timber tracts, or other agricultural establishments. They may hire, train, or supervise farm workers or contract for services to carry out the day-to-day activities of the managed operation. They may engage in supervised planting, cultivating, harvesting, financial, or marketing activities. Typical tasks may include inspecting orchards or fields to determine crop maturity or condition or to detect disease or insect infestation; directing crop production operations, such as planning, tilling, planting, fertilizing, cultivating, spraying, or harvesting. Career opportunities require more than two years of college study.
