“A career as an agriculturist can lead in many directions. An agriculturist is not someone who is

simply a farmer. Agriculture is  a technologically-sophisticated and ever expanding field.

look for ways to improve the quality and productivity of agricultural production, and make

farming more safe and effective,” said Baldoz.

a very viable career option for those looking to get into the field). Such as Agricultural
