Agricultural production, processing, and marketing activities in our agriculturally diverse geographic area are supported by many enterprises which conduct activities in research, marketing, technical advising, input supply, regulatory compliance, storage, packing, processing, production, and animal health and care. Firms working in one or more of these activity areas require employees who can implement solutions to practical problems using existing and new technology and with concern for safety and environmental protection.
