Agricultural worker supervisors hire and supervise workers who tend and harvest crops, animals, ornamental plants, and trees.

Agricultural worker supervisors work for different employers with different products. They may work for:

• Farms
• Ranges
• Aquaculture facilities
• Hatcheries
• Nurseries

Agricultural worker supervisors train employees and make sure safety regulations are followed. They make employee schedules and coordinate transportation. Supervisors oversee worker performance and recommend employees for promotion or dismissal.

Agricultural worker supervisors observe animals and crops for signs of disease. They work with veterinarians if an animal is injured or ill. They also evaluate weather and soil conditions to develop plans for planting, harvesting, or weeding. Supervisors work with managers to determine production requirements.

Supervisors keep track of inventory and monitor budgets. They also inspect facilities and make note of any maintenance work that needs to be done.
