Agribusiness Talent Council
Agribusiness includes everything from growing crops and raising animals to processing food and making products you see in stores. In Michigan, it’s one of the top five industries and plays a big role in feeding our communities and supporting local jobs. From hands-on work outdoors to high-tech roles in labs and production facilities, there’s something for everyone. You might be surprised at how many different careers are part of agribusiness!
