Farmer
Farmers genially oversee both corporate and family owned farms. Farmers produce crops and care for animals, so a general knowledge of all aspects of domestic animals and crops is a must.
Farmers can expect to produce and maintain crops, till soil, remove weeds, and harvest fruits and vegetables. In addition to the plant care farmers will also be responsible to feed and maintain the animals.
In the old days, to be a farmer you just needed experience working on a farm, and a family connection. Today however, farmers are required to have two year or four year degrees in farming and business management. You will need to understand the ins and outs of all aspects of farming. While working toward your degree, you should find a farm that will allow you to be an apprentice or intern.
According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, there is a decline of people entering into the field of farming. This gives those pursuing a career in farming great opportunities for gaining employment. An entry level farmer can expect starting salaries in the $34,000 range.
