What are the working conditions and schedules that go along with this career?

The working conditions of a farmer may seem like they are always in some sort of machinery, but that is not always the case. Some of the work that a farmer does outside his tractor includes measuring his fields, estimating how much of what crops to plant, checking for pests such as weeds, insects, or diseases that could be causing harm to the plant. Not only is the work in the field but also a farmer can be found in an office. "Farmers, ranchers, and agricultural manager typically work outdoors, but they may spend some time in offices" (Bureau of Labor). This quote helps to show that farmers also work in offices too. Some of the schedules that a farmer can look to is when the sun rises they go to work and when the sun sets is when they get off. Typically they will work anywhere from 10 to 17  hours a day depending on the work that has to be done and whether the weather cooperates. "Farmers may work a 6 or 7 day week during the planting and harvestiong part of the season" (umsl.edu). This quote goes to show that the schedule of a farmer can be very intensive, having to work a a couple of weeks without a day off.
