Agronomist

I was recently reading the July/August 2023 issue of “The Science Teacher” a publication of the National Science Teaching Association.  In this issue, I read the “Career of the Month” column, written by Luba Vangelova.  She wrote an article entitled, “Agronomist.”

Agronomists, or agriculturists, use their knowledge of soil and plants to help farmers row crops more effectively.  They can work for government agencies, nonprofits, academic institutions, or private enterprises.  The article features Lee Briese a Certified Crop Advisor who lives in Jamestown, North Dakota.
