Planting crops under the hot sun and then waiting for them to grow has become much more than simple agriculture. Careers in agriculture have advanced in many different ways from agricultural retail sales to becoming an agronomist. Agribusiness is a huge industry, with the number of jobs in this area increasing by almost 60,000 per year.
