What is Agriculture?

Do you really know what agriculture is and what jobs are available?

If you were to ask most of America what agriculture is, they would probably say that it is farming. That's not entirely true. Farming is a part of agriculture, but only a small part. Ever since we have had agriculture, the field has been expanding. From veterinarians to biotechnologists, agriculture employs more people than anything else in America. Here are just a few of agricultural careers:
