Good management is the key to success in modern agribusiness. Employees in today's agribusiness need a much higher level of knowledge and skill than did their predecessors. Scientific, business, and technical skills and knowledge are needed in agronomy, economics, marketing, accounting, and the use and application of the microcomputer. Each skill is a necessary tool for the successful owner or employee in an agribusiness. Employment opportunities in agribusiness professions are expanding rapidly.
