Farm Data Analyst — Career Preview

Turn farm data into smarter decisions

Farm data analysts collect, clean, and analyze agricultural data — yield monitor files, soil tests, satellite imagery, and sensor readings — to deliver actionable insights that optimize farm performance, reduce costs, and support precision agriculture goals.

A day in the life

You start the morning importing yield monitor files and cleaning GPS data, overlay soil tests and NDVI imagery in QGIS to identify variability zones, build a variable-rate fertilizer prescription map, present a season-end dashboard to a farming client, and wrap up by reviewing drone imagery for a new field assessment.
