3 An Ag Filled Day 6:15am Wake up and toss off the bed sheets. Sheets come from cotton. A commodity procurement manager purchased the crop from a cotton farmer on behalf of a manufacturing company before it became your sheets. 2:25pm You turn in your homework. We all know that paper comes from trees, but did you know that a hydraulics technician works on the equipment that turns the wood into paper? 7:40am You take the bus to school. There s a chance the bus runs with a blend of biodiesel. Some product development managers work with biofuel chemists and farmers to develop the fuel. 4:00pm After school, you go grocery shopping with your family. An inventory manager makes sure the various items are available for consumers. 10:35am In gym class, you play a game of baseball. One of the materials used to make a baseball is wool. A sales representative participated in selling the commodity to the company producing the baseballs. 5:45pm You eat dinner with your family. An industrial designer helped design your table. 12:20pm You enjoy a delicious hamburger for lunch. Not only was the beef raised on a farm, but the meat was inspected and tested by a food safety specialist. 9:35pm Before bed, you brush your teeth. The mint from your toothpaste was grown on a farm. Chemists work to make sure the proper ingredients are used in toothpaste. These ingredients make your teeth healthy and clean.

5 PLANT SCIENCE Plant science, or botany, is a branch of biology that deals with the study of plants, including their growth, structure, properties, processes, classification, diseases and environmental interactions. The science of botany dates back to Europe in the 16th century, when physicians observed plants in an effort to identify those that would be useful in medicine. Since then, plants have become the source of many products, such as food, perfumes, dyes, beverages, clothing, and medications, among others. Agronomy Sales Custom Applicator Entomologist Horticulturalist Landscape Designer Arborist Arborists practice the art, science, technology and business of tree care, also known as arboriculture. They are trained to identify trees, promote tree health, identify and diagnose tree diseases and pests, and take measures to correct the problems. Arborists also participate in the safe removal of trees and limbs. Illinois arborists currently face problems with Dutch Elm Disease, which could destroy Elm populations throughout the state. Arborists in Illinois work every day, researching and taking measures to prevent such outcomes. A bachelor s degree in arboriculture, urban forestry, plant science, horticulture, biology, or a related field is required. Some states also require a license to practice arboriculture.

11 Career Corner Jeff Mathesius Agronomy Research Manager DuPont Pioneer Describe your background. I come from an agricultural background and a family of farmers. My education was focused around agriculture, specifically soil fertility. I began my career as an Agronomist in Northern Illinois. My work involves science and technology of using plants for food, fuel and various other purposes. Describe your job. I coordinate trial testing efforts for a team of agronomists. My work crosses over several different sales areas and even across several states. Currently, I am conducting trial work with nitrogen, insect traits, plant population, variable rate and other precision technologies. Why do you enjoy working with agriculture? Agriculture is fascinating. My field uses science, technology, and research to help us better understand aspects of agriculture. This information can be translated into products and management suggestions that can be developed and passed on to end users. What is your favorite part about your job? I work with diverse groups that come from a broad range of backgrounds. I work with scientists to conduct the research and collect the data, but I see the results turn into products and information that are put to use on farms. Having this blend enables me to see the work translate into something useful for the farmer. Heidi Grooms Veterinarian Graham Veterinary Clinic Describe your background. I was raised on a farm in Sullivan, Illinois. My family grew corn and soybeans and I showed pigs through 4-H and FFA. I received my Bachelor s Degree from the University of Illinois in Animal Science before completing my Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine, also at the U of I. Describe your job. I am a mixed animal veterinarian. This means that I not only see small companion animals such as dogs and cats, but I also do farm calls where I work with horses, cows, goats and even camels! On the farms, we work out of our truck, which is essentially a hospital on wheels. A typical day may start with going to a farm early in the morning to help a horse deliver a baby foal, followed by doing surgery on a sick dog at the clinic before lunch, and ending the day giving a new kitten some vaccinations. What do you enjoy most about your job? Being a veterinarian never gets boring. I work with farmers, pet owners, and their animals every day. Working in a small community, I can see what I do matters to people and their animals. Saving an animal that wouldn t get better without veterinary care is a wonderful feeling.

12 Kristin Kramer Agribusiness Quality Assurance Analyst COUNTRY Financial Describe your background. I was raised on a grain farm in Delavan, Illinois, and was a member of FFA (Future Farmers of America). I received my Bachelor s Degree in Public Relations with a minor in Agriculture from Illinois State University. Career Corner Describe your job. I work with insurance accounts that have a farm policy. My role is to analyze the overall quality of the account and identify areas for improvement in order to assist farmers in getting the best coverage that suits their needs and circumstances. This can include accounts that are unprofitable or profitable, but have unique exposures, such as agribusiness attractions. How do you see your job changing in the future? There are many changes in the farm segment. With the rise in equipment costs, weather factors, and many other unforeseen circumstances, claim payments are more significant. We must also adapt to a younger generation of farmers. We have to modify our strategy to appeal to a demographic that is more involved with technology and social media. Ivan Dozier State Conservationist Illinois Natural Resources Conservation Service Describe your background. I was raised on a farm in White County, Illinois. My family raised grain and cattle, and my father worked with tractors. I received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agronomy and a Master s in Environmental Studies from the University of Illinois. Describe your job. I am the State Conservationist for Illinois Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS). I oversee activities of all the federal NRCS. We provide technical and financial assistance for private land owners and operators. Our ultimate goal is to aid efforts in implementing conservation practices. What do you enjoy most about your job? I enjoy the hands-on exposure working directly with the farmers. I play a part in facilitating and solving issues on farms. How do you see your job changing in the future? In the immediate future, we will encounter financial challenges, as well as technological changes impacting agriculture every day. We must keep up with the advancements, particularly as we learn more about the environment, and adapt to the changes.

13 Career Corner Carey Mathesius Research Scientist-Nutritionist DuPont Pioneer Describe your background. I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago. During high school, I worked at a veterinary practice for 3 years. I attended the University of Illinois, studying animal science. I later received my Master s Degree in Animal Nutrition at Iowa State University. Describe your job. I work in the Regulatory Science group at Pioneer. I am responsible for evaluating potential nutritional changes in food and feed crops modified to enhance nutritional quality. This includes conducting dietary exposure assessments for insect resistant and herbicide tolerant crops. This work is part of the comprehensive safety evaluation required for global registration of plant biotechnology products. What do you enjoy most about your job? I work with people from all around the world. The assessments are done not only for the U.S., but Japan, countries in Europe and others as well. The work done in the regulatory phase is the last portion before a product goes on the market. This can make my work challenging, and timely, but I enjoy the pressure. What are the future challenges of your position? Biotechnology products have been on the market since the late 1990s. We will continue to see more in-depth questions and engage in further research and testing to meet regulatory standards.
