Hi all, I’m looking for some career advice as I’m about to start my MBA at Ivey(Canada). My academic and professional background is in food and agriculture—specifically a BSc in Agriculture, an MS in Bioresource Engineering (McGill), and work experience in regulatory compliance with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency

For context, I don't want to fall back to operations or regulatory compliance within food manufacturing and want to move towards something more professional.

Any suggestions on what roles or industries I could target based on my experience and goals?
On a side note do you think getting CFA level 1 certification before MBA can help to make transition to other industries like finance, or consulting.

Thanks in advance!

For my ag sales class we have to interview a producer/purchaser about their experiences with salespeople.

The interview should be ~10 minutes long and voice only is acceptable. Our teacher wants us to record for proof purposes only. The interview would be me asking questions from a list I've already made.

I'm US central time, and evenings would work best for me.

Thanks in advance.

Looking at purchasing a drone for spraying, but it cannot be any DJI based ones. Would anyone have suggestions of drone models, or websites that sell such products.

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had a Bachelor's in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems. It's being offered by a lot of the universities at the moment and I was wondering job security and opportunities looked like with the degree? Some people have said it is a buzz-word and might box you in. And I can't get a good idea on what the job market will look like at all. It sounds like a very interesting degree, but I definitely don't want to leave college without any sort of idea of what I'm going to do with my career. It might be worth buckling down and studying something more broad, like Agribusiness or Animal Science. If anyone had some insight they could add, I would really appreciate it.

Have a water park closing down, and they have asked us if we know anybody who can use the cleaning agents, and the sulfuric acid they have left over. I know it is used in a multitude of products, but who would you contact to get rid of it? Just need some help or options to get rid of it.

I'm an electrician who does agricultural service, specializing in motors. I recently found out that I should be taking so many precautions that I haven't been while inside a silo to fix silo unloaders. These precautions would make silo unloader twice as expensive, and that cost would get charged back to the farmers.

What is the solution here? Should silo unloaders be being serviced every time the silo is emptied? Should customers really be paying twice the price to get multiple electricians trained in confined spaces out to fix their silo unloaders when they break down unexpectedly and they have animals to feed.

I'm interested to hear what people have to say, because I might have to find a new company to work for.

I'm studying automation and for my graduation project I want to make an AI for weeds detection, possibly to be used in machines in the future. I have everything I need except a dataset to train my AI on. I only need photos for personal use, because I don't have the resources and the land to actually take my own.

Can you guys help me out with any forums, discord groups, websites, google drives I can use? Any advice is appreciated.

I am planning to pursue my master's in the UK or the US. Can any of you please suggest which university to choose, and will it be worth the money, as I am coming from a developing country? I basically want to focus on plant health, plant nutrition, regenerative agriculture, and soil health. If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Hi there.

The title says is all: Is there any dairy animal or breed thereof, which does not need to be pregnant regularly, in order to constantly give milk?

I'm asking this because I recall someone mentioning something towards me about a type of animal or breed that gives milk without having recently been pregnant. That was quite some time ago, so I might remember incorrectly.

The question could also be asked differently: Which type or breed of dairy animal gives milk the longest after pregnancy?

Cheers.

I wanna move to Florida, preferably either Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa, or the south east part of Florida and I was thinking of getting a farmers loan, then start growing cacao, hemp, avocados and cotton, are any of these four crops profitable to grow in Florida?
