Aszhia’s Answer
Hey there! So I work in agronomy and went to school for Agricultural Science. Others could be: agronomy, horticulture, applied plant sciences. I even know people who work in agronomy and have an ag communications, ag business, ag technology degree or even a science-based degree such as biology, chemistry, or microbiology. There are many options. What was really important to me was getting into agronomy summer internships as well!

A general major you could choose that would give you a good background for anything science-based would be biology or environmental science. However, the most relevant degree that you could earn would be an agricultural science degree.
Find a school that offers agricultural science as a major.

Many colleges in the Midwest have Agronomy/ Plant and Soil Sciences. I know Ohio State, Oklahoma State, and Iowa State all have programs. These colleges have a website where you can learn more and typically you can setup time with an admissions counselor to learn more.
