It helps to grow up living on a farm or working with crops and plant life. Internships or supervised work experience may lead to employment or better job prospects and recommendations.

Due to some program's locations, you can focus on a particular crop or plant. For instance, programs located in Iowa may concentrate on corn production. This is because corn is the predominate crop grown there.

For information about farm occupations, opportunities, and 4-H activities, contact your local county extension service office.
