Possible job leads might be found through regional Farm Bureau and USDA field offices. Also try area ag cooperatives and state/junior colleges' ag departments. There's always the possibility of contract work with ag business incubators, too.

yeah department of agriculture. Or why not check with your local job and family services, they post things often. Or check with the state. Also check with local vocational schools to see if they've posted anything on the career board (most schools have them)...or check with the school in which you've obtained the degree.
