What is a crop consultant?

A crop consultant, also known as a crop advisor, provides advice to farmers about what types of crops to plant in a particular area. As a crop consultant, your job duties are to consult closely with your clients about soil, seeds, budgets, and other environmental conditions, such as rainfall and humidity. You also maintain close relationships with suppliers, such as seed banks and fertilizer companies. A crop consultant is also very knowledgeable about crop diseases, pests, and other issues that may plague a farmer’s crops.
