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).
