by Jonathan Arnold, Esq. - DirectorFor those of you who follow our Advanced articles and tips designed to boost your creative thinking and give you Maximum-Impact for your PL/LDA career, you know that we cover a wide range of career industry categories, some of you may never have considered for your Paralegal Career. Since most everyone reading this article will have different lifestyle backgrounds and interests you'll be sure to find a topic we cover of interest to you. This article is no different, but may be a bit more unique. For example, some of our recent articles covered Paralegal career potentials in the Entertainment Industry, the Maritime Industry, Aerospace and AI Robotics fields. Well because they make all those flavors of Ice Cream for a reason, here's one you most likely would never have given thought to, Paralegal Jobs (Careers) in Agriculture. How's that saying go... 'You can take the girl out of the Country but you can't take the Country out of the Girl'. Well, if this hits home to you and you have a fondness for the rural setting and lifestyle of Agriculture, Livestock and Commodities and If the thought of pursuing a Career as an Agricultural Paralegal is of interest to you then let's explore a few avenues of potentials in this career opportunity and take a summary look at some revealing statistics... because 'opportunity' can reveal itself one way or the other in the Stats, if you take the time to analyze them.
Just a side note here, you may on occasion see the job title as being referred to as Agricultural Legal Secretary or Legal Assistant, however, most of you by now understand that those title designations all fall under the same career title of 'Paralegal', in other words, just think of those titles as Paralegals.
Now,
in scanning through the above summary of highlights of
Paralegal duties, what did you notice about the one
function that stands out? If you said Travel to Farms
you'd be right. The rest of those duties are elements
you bring with you as a paralegal, and by obtaining your
LDA certification, you carry with you Maximum Impact
credentials. As for the Travel to Farms summary line,
that plays into what we have been referring to as your
Familiarity Specific Resume Addendum and take it upon
yourself to study up on some important aspects of the
Agricultural Industry that you may already be
knowledgeable on or interested in. So in keeping with
that, let's take a look at a few pertinent facts to
expand your thinking in this area. Note: It's
interesting to mention that while many may not be aware
of it, Europe (UK) has considerable uses for Paralegals
in these fields as well as in agricultural realestate
property, and being here in California we'll show
you how much more potential there is referencing some
quite revealing statistics.
Fruit
picking robots, driverless tractor / sprayers, and sheep
shearing robots are designed to replace some forms of
human labor. However, in most cases, a lot of factors
have to be considered such as the size and color of the
fruit to be picked before the commencement of a task.
Robots can be used for other horticultural tasks such as
pruning, weeding, spraying and monitoring. Robots can
also be used in livestock applications (livestock
robotics) such as automatic milking (not producing the
milk, just withdrawing it). While Robots like these have
many benefits for the agricultural industry, including a
higher quality of fresh produce, lower production costs,
they provide a decreased need for manual labor. But on
the other hand they can also be used to automate manual
tasks more safely, such as weed or bracken spraying,
where the use of tractors and other manned vehicles is
too dangerous for the operators and may subject them to
unsafe working conditions and susceptible contamination
associated with certain chemical sprays.
