About
An agricultural engineer‘s primary goal is to improve and resolve agriculture problems. They look at pollution and environmental issues, machine efficiency, agricultural processing, and the storage of agricultural products. They are often present at farms to monitor installations of new systems and note crop outcomes and growth locations.
Some agricultural engineers work to develop climate control systems that increase the comfort and productivity of livestock whereas others work to increase the storage capacity and efficiency of refrigeration. Many agricultural engineers attempt to develop better solutions for animal waste disposal. Those with computer programming skills work to integrate artificial intelligence and geospatial systems into agriculture. For example, they work to improve efficiency in fertilizer application or to automate harvesting systems.

Education Degree: Bachelor's degree
Degree Field: Agricultural Engineering or Biological Engineering
Licenses: They are not required for entry-level positions as an agricultural engineer. For a higher level position, you will need a Professional Engineering (PE) license. Licenses can be used across state lines.
|
Key Skills Analytical skills. Agricultural engineers must analyze the needs of complex systems that involve workers, crops, animals, machinery and equipment, and the environment.
Communication skills.
Agricultural engineers must understand the needs of clients, workers, and others working on a project. Furthermore, they must communicate their thoughts about systems and about solutions to any problems they have been working on.
Math skills. Agricultural engineers use calculus, trigonometry, and other advanced mathematical disciplines for analysis, design, and troubleshooting.
Problem-solving skills.
Agricultural engineers‘ main role is to solve problems found in agricultural production.
|
Environment
Agricultural engineers typically work in offices, but may spend time at a variety of worksites, both indoors and outdoors. They may travel to agricultural settings to see that equipment and machinery are functioning according to both the manufacturers‘ specifications and federal and state regulations. Some agricultural engineers occasionally work in laboratories to test the quality of processing equipment. They may work onsite when they supervise livestock facility upgrades or water resource management projects.

Industry Growth
The employment of agricultural engineers is projected to grow 2 percent from 2019 to 2029, slower than the average for all occupations. The need to increase the efficiency of agricultural production systems and to reduce environmental damage should maintain demand for these workers
Agricultural engineers are expected to continue working on projects such as alternative energies and biofuels; precision and automated farming technologies for irrigation, spraying, and harvesting; and growing food in space to support future exploration.
More efficient designs for traditional agricultural engineering projects such as irrigation, storage, and worker safety systems will also maintain demand for these workers. Growing populations and stronger global competition will result in the industry needing more efficient means of production, which will increase demand for agricultural engineers.
| $ Pay $ The median annual wage for agricultural engineers was $80,720 in May 2019. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $47,330, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $160,950.
In May 2019, the median annual wages for agricultural engineers in the top industries in which they worked were as follows:
Federal government, excluding postal service - $88,050
Engineering services - $85,040
Management, scientific, and technical consulting services - $77,190
Colleges, universities, and professional schools; state - $59,550

Many Historians believe that it all started as the pre-Roman empire ritual known as Lupercalia. The celebration took place every February 13-15. Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus. It celebrated the coming of spring, included fertility rites and the pairing off of women with men by lottery. At the end of the 5th century, Pope Gelasius I, a bishop of Rome from 1 March AD 492 to his death in AD 496, replaced Lupercalia with St. Valentine‘s Day.
Although there were several Christian martyrs named Valentine, the day may have taken its name from a priest who was martyred about 270 CE by the emperor Claudius II Gothicus. According to legend, the priest signed a letter “from
your Valentine” to his jailer‘s daughter, whom he had befriended and, by some accounts, healed from blindness. Other accounts hold that it was St. Valentine of Terni, a bishop, for whom the holiday was named, though it is possible the two saints were actually one person. Another common legend states that St. Valentine defied the emperor‘s orders and secretly married couples to spare the husbands from war. It is for this reason that his feast day is associated with love.
