Summary

At my dad’s farm, I leveraged my expertise in crop management and innovative irrigation techniques to significantly enhance farm efficiency and crop yield. My adeptness at cultivating strong supplier relationships and my proactive approach to adopting modern agricultural technology led to a notable reduction in operational costs. My multitasking abilities and commitment to sustainable farming practices underscore my comprehensive skill set in agriculture. I monitored dryland acres by soil sampling the soil. I also picked different verities that would fit the ground needs. I also have monitored different diseases such as stripe rust, leaf rust and stem rust in wheat.
