Can you tell me about agricultural engineering?

Agricultural engineers attempt to solve agricultural problems concerning power supplies, the efficiency of machinery, the use of structures and facilities, pollution and environmental issues, and the storage and processing of agricultural products. Duties of Agricultural Engineers: Agricultural engineers typically do the following: Use computer software to design equipment, systems, or structures Modify environmental factors that affect animal or crop production, such as airflow in a barn or runoff patterns on a field Test equipment to ensure its safety and reliability Oversee construction and production operations Plan and work together with clients, contractors, consultants, and other engineers to ensure effective and desirable outcomes Agricultural engineers work in farming, including aquaculture (farming of seafood), forestry, and food processing. They work on a wide variety of projects. For example, some agricultural engineers work to develop climate control systems that increase the comfort and productivity of livestock whereas others work to increase the storage capacity and efficiency of refrigeration. Many agricultural engineers attempt to develop better solutions for animal waste disposal. Those with computer programming skills work to integrate artificial intelligence and geospatial systems into agriculture. For example, they work to improve efficiency in fertilizer application or to automate harvesting systems.
