Top 10 Career with huge money in agriculture






1. Food Science
Food scientists have been in great demand since the start of the century, and job growth is expected to continue going up. Food scientists improve food products and create new ones by researching and experimenting with combinations of raw ingredients, food sources, and food processing techniques. As an example, Louis Pasteur discovered the food processing method named after him, but it was food scientists who developed thin, individually wrapped, square slices of pasteurized cheddar cheese that never go bad.


2.Veterinarian
As long as there are farm animals, there will be a demand for veterinarians. The importance of veterinarians in agriculture goes far beyond the need to keep valuable livestock healthy. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's One Health approach emphasizes the idea that the health of animals is inextricably connected to human and environmental health. This interdisciplinary approach encourages widely varying industries, professions, and institutions to work together.

3.Farm Workers and Laborers
Farm workers and laborers are essential to the agriculture industry, and despite the seasonal nature of some jobs, they are always in demand. The sheer number and diversity of jobs in this category may surprise you. Agricultural workers and laborers are employed in greenhouses and plant nurseries as well as on farms and ranches. Federal and state inspectors are classified as agricultural workers, too. In addition to planting and harvesting crops, farm workers and laborers perform related tasks such as installing irrigation systems, packing and loading harvested food onto trucks for shipment, and maintaining farm equipment. They also do routine animal care tasks on ranches and dairy farms, keep written records on animals, assist at births, and keep animal housing areas clean.

4.Horticulturists
Horticulture and agriculture are related fields. The Latin roots "horti-" and "agri-" mean garden, and land, respectively. But horticulture is much more than simply a fancy word for gardening. Horticulturists focus their skills and experience on growing and selling highly marketable fruits and vegetables, flowers, and decorative plants. Landscape designers, nursery managers, florists, and forestry experts manage natural resources on both public and private lands, as well as for the timber industry and large private corporations, and for farms that grow and sell flowers and plants.

5.Agricultural Equipment Operators
These highly skilled agricultural workers drive, operate, and maintain the equipment used to plant and harvest crops, such as tractors, balers, conveyors, manure spreaders, mowers, shredders, harvesters, and power washers. The job outlook for agricultural equipment operators has been continuously good for the past 10 years, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.


6. Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Auditing Clerks
Every industry needs numbers people to count the money and keep track of expenses. As one of the most important industries in the United States, agriculture is no exception. In addition to working directly for farms and ranches, there are lots of companies and businesses that specialize in serving the agricultural industry's accounting and record-keeping needs.



7. Truck Drivers
Commercial agriculture on the massive scale it exists today would scarcely be possible without the ability to ship large quantities of meat, fruits, and vegetables vast distances without spoilage. The job outlook for heavy-load, tractor-trailer drivers is excellent. According to the BLS, employment in this field is projected to increase by 21 percent in the decade 2010-2020.

8. Food Packers and Packagers
Before agricultural products can reach their ultimate destination, they must be packaged safely and appropriately for shipment. This is what food packers and packagers do. Contemporary packing operations are usually done with sophisticated package processing equipment that takes skill and experience to operate. As you might expect, the employment outlook for food packers in agriculture is best in parts of the country where agriculture is a larger part of the economy, like California, Texas, and portions of the Midwest and South.

9.Agribusiness Management
Agribusiness is the management field of the agriculture industry. Some who work in agribusiness own or manage farms and ranches themselves; others work for separate businesses that exist to support farms and ranches. According to the 2012 Agribusiness Job Report, there were 43 percent more applications posted on AgCareer.com than in 2011, and job listings were up from the previous year as well.

10.Agricultural and Natural Resources Communications
This is the field for you if you want to combine an interest in agriculture with an interest in communications. Agricultural communications professionals work in print and broadcast journalism, on the staffs of magazines and newspapers, as press spokespeople, as public relations, advertising, and marketing executives, and as educators. Job growth for public relations jobs is especially strong. According to Utah State University's undergraduate program in agricultural communication and journalism, such jobs are projected to increase by 24 percent between 2008 and 2018.

No To Boju-boju Examination, Conduct Normal Exam Or Release Us To Go Home” – UNIOSUN Students

Dear Management,
If anyone is not ready to say the truth, I will, a saying says ” if you say the truth, you will die, if you lie, you will die”.Pls I don’t seem to understand this school any longer, why in this world will a school take delight in suffering her students and having them undergo psychological traumatization all in the name of helping them write exams….
This drama is getting out of hand, if we want to strike why can’t we strike for goodness sake And if it’s exam let’s write it. like I said before, the results of this kind of exam is usually shocking and unpalatable.
Or what kind of results do you expect out of exam you wrote hastily all in the name of hiding from Asuu or the one you are told overnight to come and write in the morning. Let’s us use our brain as students and stand our ground against this inhumane and nefarious acts.
The most annoying thing is that, the students representatives we look up to are just there having meeting with the management on how to continue this stupid exam while they also know that such exam will lead to nothing but mass failure or what sense does it make when you don’t want delay and you write exams hastily and you end up having carryovers you cannot clear till Jesus comes.
I as a student of this school say enough is enough of this ” boju boju examination “, we want a normal exam or release us to go home. It is just that they are inconsiderate, because our lecturers were once students and they know how it feels to read for exams and end up not writing it, they know the psychological effect, but they are just after three own selfish interest.
They also know that during exam period students are always out of foodstuffs And money but they just act unconcerned about our welfare. They may think they are helping us not to suffer the consequences of writing exams after strike for but this help has turned to a wicked act. The school shouldn’t have voted strike when they have intention of writing exams, have they forgot the saying that ” you cannot eat your cake and have it “?.
I found no sense in it when we wait to write exam in school and we didn’t eventually write the exam and the students are suffering, I hope my fellow students will join this campaign until it gets to appropriate quarters and with one voice we will say ” NO TO OPPRESSIVE EXAMINATION “….permit me to drop my pen by saying ” it’s not how far but how well ”
Yours in the struggle,
Hungry and angry uniosun student.

Afolabi said: “We had our inaugural meeting at the main campus in Ogbomoso on August 9, 2017, and charted for ourselves a 90-day action plan which has started in earnest. For instance, consultations have been held with the various unions, parent forum and traditional rulers.
“We have also engaged the auditing firm, KPMG, and as I address you here, I make bold to inform you that we are expecting an interim report from the firm in a matter of days. It is this report we will be presenting to the visitors to the university. We have high hope that submission of this relief would go a long way in midwife get a lasting solution to the problems of LAUTECH.
“From various interactions of the council with the diverse stakeholders, we have realized that we are on the same page, working towards the same goal, which is that. The Council should spare no efforts to get the university reopen for students to continue with their studies and move on with their academic pursuit. The students have pledged their cooperation to abide by any decision taken if that would make the university to work again.”

Boko Haram Attacks: 70 Lecturers Quit UNIMAID

The chairman, UNIMAID chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Dr. Dani Mamman, who said this in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH, called on the Federal Government and the university authorities to put in place adequate security. 

No fewer than 70 lecturers have resigned from the University of Maiduguri since the outbreak of Boko Haram insurgency in the North- East, SUNDAY PUNCH, has learnt.

Also, while five lecturers have been killed, three were said to have been held by the insurgents during the recent attack on oil workers.

The chairman, UNIMAID chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities, Dr. Dani Mamman, who said this in an interview with SUNDAY PUNCH, called on the Federal Government and the university authorities to put in place adequate security.

Mamman said although closing down the university was the initial thought, it was resisted by the management.

ASUU added that as a union, it believed that if its demands made to the Federal Government were fulfilled, the idea of closure would not be an option.

Mamman said, “About 70 lecturers left, about five died and three are held hostage by Boko Haram. The admission figure of students have been dropping since insurgency started in 2012. We don’t know what will happen to the admission of students this year.

“The exit of some lecturers has affected research and learning because some are specialists in their fields. Usually, such exodus affects accreditation of some programmes and courses.

“We requested the government to increase security personnel, security gadgets and construction of the 23.7 km perimeter fence. In the interim, the state governor has started building a 10.3 km perimeter fence.

Stay safe Unilorites

STAY SAFE, UNILORITES.

School is becoming too insecure now, some non - Unilorites were reported to have been in school last night dressed in blacks and they were about 25.

They reportedly beat up because a student because his torch was on but one of them who knew that student begged that he should be freed.

It happened along CIS through Social Sciences road. Immediately they got to faculty of arts, everybody ran on sighting them, only a guy was seen sitting because he believed he had no business with them. He was reportedly beaten to stupor and they left.

Another guy was reported to have been beaten by this same Men in black before they boarded the last korope at the park. Their languages are vulgar coupled with their behaviour that is irrational

The one who witnessed it never wanted to create a scene because there was no security around and he was the only person present at the scene. It was said that not all of them were on black tops but they had bags hanged on.

Fellow Unilorites, do not stay or lurk around in dark corners. Move in group of twos and threes and even more. Let your friends know of your whereabout. It wouldn't be too bad seeing your friend to the toilet just to ensure his/her safety.

Ensure you have backups of lamps and even your mobile torches in places where there are no bulbs. 
Stay safe, Unilorites.

DON'T BE DECIEVED: UNILORIN Yet to Release Admission Screening Date

            


The management of the University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) has said that it is yet to announce the date and procedure for the screening of candidates for the 2017/2018 admission.

In a statement issued in Ilorin Wednesday by the university and signed by the Head of Corporate and Information Unit, Alhaji Kunle Akogun, following the trending on social media that the university had announced the date and procedure for the screening of candidates for the 2017/2018 admission, the school blamed “the misinformation on the handiwork of  scammers and 419ers who are bent on taking advantage of the anxious admission seekers to fleece them of huge sums of money”.

The statement also said that the purported announcement even went as far as directing admission seekers to a phantom website on which to upload their eligibility details.

It said: “We want to state categorically that the University of Ilorin is yet to commence any screening for the 2017/2018 admission exercise. In fact, we are yet to release the cut-off marks for this year’s admission exercise.

“The online announcement is the handiwork of scammers and 419ers who are bent on taking advantage of the anxious admission seekers to fleece them of huge sums of money.

“Perceptive members of the public ought to know, even from the headline of the statement, that such can never emanate from the University of Ilorin.

“We therefore warn all admission seekers and their parents/guardians to exercise some patience and wait for the official release of screening instruction by the University. They should be wary of falling cheaply for the antics of scammers.”
