Farmers use agricultural land and equipment to grow food and other crops, manage animal populations and perform a wide diversity of general farm labor tasks. Their duties include planting and harvesting, managing permanent and seasonal workers and successfully bringing row crops from planting to harvest. Some farmers work for agricultural businesses as traditional employees, while others own their land and work independently. Others have a binding contract arrangement with a distribution network that plays a role in managing the farm’s policies.
