I was recently remembering back to my time during college when I spent the summer and fall working on a farm. I was living in North Dakota and that’s the biggest industry. The whole industry is based around farming and agriculture.
I did a lot of different odd jobs. I spent two weeks cutting hay on for one farm. It meant going out on the tractor to cut the hay and then I would go back and rake the hay. Only after it was raked was it ready to be rolled up in a bale.
I also spent 2 months being a soil test driver. This meant that I was given an aerial map of a field along with some maps. I would drive out into the field and using one of their contraption, I would bore down down several feet into the ground and extract soil samples. It was fun. Just sit on your rear and drive around.
