The successful candidates are expected to have their major classified in one of the following fields: agricultural economics, agronomy, animal science, ecology, environmental sciences, farm and ranch management, horticulture, production economics, plant and soil sciences, range management, wildlife sciences or fisheries sciences.
The successful scholars will have the opportunity to contribute to a multidisciplinary team of consultants and research scientists in the development and implementation of farm- and ranch-based research and demonstration projects that seek to help agricultural producers and other stewards of natural resources achieve their financial, production and quality-of-life goals.
