A Day in the Life of an Argricultural Technician

This video clearly shows what an average day is like for an agricultural technician apprentice. An agricultural technician is almost like a mechanic for agricultural equipment. They deal with everything from tractors to combine harvesters and potato planters.
Adam is an agricultural student who is currently on a 3 year apprenticeship working with the Ben Burgess Company. He started in the job as a work experience student and went on to study an Agricultural Technicians course at East Durham College. The video discusses his day from start to finish and shows a number of tasks he carries out throughout the day.
Adam talks about the 1500 hour service of a tractor in which he must check a number of different things including changing parts, checking all filters and oils and finally grease and was the tractor. He also discusses a PDI check which entails checking a combine harvester for damage after transportation and ensuring everything is in working order ready for the harvest.
Agricultural Apprenticeships can guide you into a career as a farm worker, tractor driver, assistant stock person and lambing assistant. East Durham College also runs BTEC and NVQ courses in agriculture as well as a number of other courses within the agriculture sector. Please visit our website to find out more!

I'm going to be a farmer when I am 18 but at the moment I am 8. FARMING IS The BEST 🚜🚜🚜

[@NuttyCuts_]

You can start at 16

[@bekabeka71]

Start now because when you get old you won’t stick to it

[@semco72057]

There is plenty of work going into being a qualified technician. The equipment have changed so much until you need the operator's manual on hand when operating the machinery. The technicians have to know even more and since they work on a large variety of equipment from many companies.

I work on a farm all my life ( retired now ) as a farm manager ,, but never was I ashamed to call myself a farm worker ,, to many posh names now ,, but the job is the same ,,

Well done video. Nice presentation. I am surprised an 18 year old goes on the road by himself though. Nothing is better than road experience ;)
