Agricultural Technical Advisor
Agricultural technical advisors consult on the use of science in the practice of agriculture. They also plan and implement research programs for the breeding of animals.
They can specialise in specific areas such as enhancing beef, dairy or fruit production, water use, and farm economics or land management.
They also provide technical product information to farmers and agricultural firms.
Other aspects of their work include training and coordinating research teams and preparing funding applications.
They also work with plant cultivators to establish new strains and with animal breeders who use artificial insemination to produce superior offspring.
Agricultural technical advisors interpret aerial photographs and prepare maps showing soil and vegetation patterns. They do work in laboratories such as chemical analysis and culture of microorganisms, which cause diseases.
