Agronomy
Read the soil, the seed, and the crop — identify, evaluate, and manage the science of growing.
The Agronomy Career Development Event tests students on the science of crop production — identifying seeds, plants, and weeds, evaluating soils and grain, and making sound crop-management decisions.
What students do
- Identify crop seeds, plants, weeds, and insects
- Evaluate soils, grain quality, and crop disorders
- Operate agronomic equipment and tools
- Apply crop-management principles to real scenarios
Why it matters
Feeding the world starts in the field. This event builds the plant, soil, and data skills behind careers in agronomy, crop science, precision ag, and sustainable production.
