What Agricultural Engineering IsAgricultural engineering is using scientific research and experiments along with technology practices to efficiently produce and process food, feed, fiber, and fuels. An agricultural engineer also helps make sure farming is safe, sustainable, and environmentally friendly. They are responsible for coming up with new ideas for farming, such as developing safe, new farming methods and equipment. They also work to find better ways to reduce crop loss from field damage during handling, sorting, packing, and processing.
A few things that an agricultural engineer could possibly do include designing agricultural machinery, equipment, sensors, processes, and structures (such as those for crop storage).They also could work to develop new ways to conserve soil and water.
