Agriculture is an important and essential industry. The main types of farm produce include dairy, beef, pork, poultry, lamb, cereal and vegetable. You may work on a traditional smaller farm, a specialist farm with rare breeds or a large commercial farm with a variety of animals and crops.
Your day will start early and normally involve livestock or perhaps just crops if you work on an arable farm. The work is very interesting, varied and rewarding but be prepared for long days and working in all weather conditions.
Course duration is 18-24 months depending upon level.
Optional Pathways
