Agronomy Minor
Feed the world.
The agronomy minor provides training in plant, soil and pest management. It complements a variety of majors by providing a focus on the science and technology of producing and using plants in agriculture for food, feed, fuel, fiber and land restoration. Employment possibilities include careers in crop consulting, crop/plant and soil research, seed and forage production and marketing agricultural inputs (fertilizers, seed, chemicals). The minor strengthens employment opportunities in government agencies, such as, the Cooperative Extension Service, Farm Service Agency, Agricultural Research Service and Natural Resources Conservation Service.
