The Agriculture Reddit
Agriculture, also called farming or husbandry, is the cultivation of animals, plants, fungi, and other life forms for food, fiber, biofuel and other products used to sustain human life. Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that nurtured the development of civilization.

AI-powered technology has the potential to transform farming in the face of climate change. From predicting weather patterns to optimizing resource use and developing climate-resistant crops, AI can boost both sustainability and productivity. It can also reduce food waste by streamlining supply chains.
As climate challenges grow, could AI be the solution farmers need to adapt and secure our food future?
Dans un but d'aider au développement économique d'une région du monde en plein développement (Afrique), des producteurs locaux souhaiteraient vendre à des producteurs et des agriculteurs Français leurs productions. Pensez-vous qu'un marché équitable peu être mise en place entre des agriculteurs Français et des agriculteurs Africains ? Une relation gagnant-gagnant !
Can anyone post a picture of where their rotor loss sensor is on their New Holland combine?
Hello,
I want to learn more about agriculture, fertilizers, and agronomy. The reason being, my family owns a fertilizer business in a foreign country and we are trying to import it into the US.
I have had convos with farmers/distributors where I am unable to answer questions or have a difficult time understanding what they're saying.
What books/courses can I read and take to learn more? I don't want textbooks as that would bore me and the chances of me retaining the info would be slim (they're also unnecessarily expensive lol).
I am a college student as well, so maybe I could reach out to my school's agriculture department and see if they'd be willing to help/guide me and maybe even perform performance tests.
Any ideas?
Hello everyone,
I've recently graduated with an agriculture degree from a recognized Indian government university and am looking to pursue my master's. However, the limited job opportunities in agriculture in India have led me to consider management, which requires passing the CAT exam. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in taking the CAT.
I'm eager to explore job opportunities abroad. Can someone advise on how to apply for jobs in countries like the EU, America, Australia, or New Zealand? What kinds of roles might I be eligible for?
my_qualifications I have a 75% graduation score and am currently learning Spanish. I'm open to relocating and adapting to different work cultures.
Thank you for your guidance!
Do you all use growing degree days or crop heat units when planning your growing season or forecasting things like pest control and harvest? I'm trying to learn if it's a "nice to have" or if it's really a valuable piece of information to improve data-driven decision-making.
Hi everyone! Could anyone suggest some excellent horticulture books? Thank you
Hello, I need some help. I have a 4-year-old kiwifruit orchard, and while cutting the grass with a string trimmer, I accidentally hit some of the trees. Do you know if these trees will survive, and what should I do to prevent losing them?
Im specifically studying plant and soil science with a field of study in crop production along with agronomy, animal science and agricultural economics and i would LOVE to know more about what im getting into. I already have general knowledge of the subject but would be interested in learning more about the subject. Any good resources i could use to learn more? (besides youtube)
Is it the future? Irrigation of any kind is not that common here, but with the last 3 years, it will be a must. I read a lot about it, it looks promising. Anybody who has it? Whats your take?
I am looking to get some feedback about irrigation systems for small and medium size agricultural applications. The survey is just asking to rate current systems and what you would want in a future system, and shouldn't take longer than 2 minutes. If you could find the time to fill out the survey I would be grateful. Thanks in advance.
Hi, I am looking for a agriculture consultant who can guide me about tomato farming. I am new to this.
Hi. AIA residues have been found in my harvest. It's being rejected due to that fact. I haven't applied any hormone to my crops. What could be the reason of this molecule appearing at high levels? We are talking 0,06 ppm.
Hello, I have been interning for an agronomist for the past 4 years. I’m about done with college now and am working full time with the same agronomist, on the path to becoming a crop consultant after graduation this year. I have very good scouting knowledge and a lot of general knowledge. How can I better expand my knowledge, specifically fertility, pesticides, herbicides, and overall agronomy before this next growing season? Any help appreciated as I am nervous becoming a full time agronomist.
3000 sqm. Evia island. Two hours from Athens airport by car (there’s a bridge to the island if you’re not familiar). There’s like 15 olive trees on it. Hasn’t really been used for a while as none of us have been able to tend to it.
Just throwing it out there in case anyone is interested
Hi everyone,
My name is Gene, and I’m currently working on designing drones specifically for the agriculture industry. Our goal is to develop affordable, high-quality drones that help with crop monitoring, aero spray, and overall farm management, while keeping costs reasonable for farmers of all sizes.
Right now, we’re in the design phase, and I’m reaching out to gather valuable feedback from farmers like you to better understand the challenges you face in the field and how drones can bring real value to your operations. Your insights will help us ensure that we’re creating something truly useful for the industry.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on the following:
Are you currently using drones in your farming operations? If so, what has your experience been like, and where do you think drones could be improved?
What specific areas of your farm could benefit most from drone technology (e.g., crop health monitoring, aero spray, field mapping)?
What factors are most important to you when considering new technology, particularly drones (e.g., cost, ease of use, durability)?
What challenges have you encountered with drones that should be addressed to make them more practical for your farm?
We’re committed to creating drones that are effective and accessible, and your feedback would be incredibly helpful as we refine our designs. Thank you so much for your time and valuable insights!
Best regards,
Gene
