Abstract:
Post-high school technician opportunities for persons in agriculture are exceedingly abundant. The demand is not presently being satisfied and there is no immediate prospect for our doing so in the near future.
Various persons have been trying to define "technician" for many years with varying degrees of success. It is not my intention to attempt it now for I know that we all have at least a satisfactory working definition. Defining "agriculture" is our problem here. Many have come to think that agriculture is synonymous with farming. Perhaps it was in the past, but it is not so today. For purposes of discussion of technician opportunities, agriculture today includes farming as well as areas related thereto and involves both before and after production processes for food and fiber.
Let us now look at technician opportunities in two ways - (1) opportunities for agricultural technician education and (2) opportunities for agricultural technician employment.
