What Does a Technical Instructor Do?
Personnel engaged in agricultural technical guidance, technical consulting, technical training, technical development and information services. Agricultural technical instructors are occupations that provide technical support directly to farmers. They are field intellectuals and actual laborers. Because they work in the field for a long time, they need to collect agricultural technology information, classify and process agricultural technology, Relevant information such as the supply and demand of agricultural products and production materials are sent to farmers, and the farmers are recommended to the farmers as good varieties of crops, livestock, poultry, and aquatic products, and the supporting breeding techniques are taught.

- Occupational profile:
- Agricultural science and technology is the first driving force for agricultural development. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, especially since the reform and opening up, China's agriculture has made great progress, and agricultural science and technology have played a huge role. The dissemination of agricultural scientific and technological knowledge and the promotion and application of advanced practical technologies are basically carried out by agricultural technicians at all levels. Through technical introduction, experimentation, demonstration, and guidance, agricultural technicians imparted excellent agricultural varieties, advanced technologies, and practical technologies to farmers and agricultural production enterprises, and made outstanding contributions to China's agricultural production.
- At present, China has more than 1 million national agricultural technical guidance personnel. In addition, it is estimated that the number of technical guidance personnel of diversified agricultural technology promotion teams and agricultural intermediary organizations is more than 10 times that of the national team. These personnel are mainly distributed throughout the country. At the county and township levels and in the vast rural areas, we are engaged in the technical guidance of the promotion of fine varieties, the popularization of planting and breeding technologies, and the diagnosis and control of diseases and insect pests in the three industries of planting, animal husbandry and aquaculture.
- At present, the quality of farmers' technical instructors varies greatly. About one-third of them have graduated from full-time agricultural colleges and technical secondary schools, one-third of them have graduated from TV universities, colleges and universities, and vocational schools. The remaining technical instructors Grow up from practice. The skills of employees and the lack of uniform professional standards have brought many technical difficulties to the training, assessment and use of personnel. Therefore, establishing agricultural technical instructors as professions has very important practical significance for stabilizing agricultural technical instructors, improving the quality and skills of employees, and ensuring the sustainable, stable, and healthy development of agricultural technology promotion.
- Science and technology are the most active and decisive factors for agricultural growth. The fundamental way out for agricultural development lies in science and technology. Only by promoting science and technology to millions of households and fields in the countryside, can agricultural science and technology be used to increase agricultural efficiency, increase farmers' income, and competitiveness of agricultural products. Enhanced support and promotion. In addition, China's agricultural development is constrained by resources, its growth mode is relatively extensive, and the level of farmers' scientific farming and scientific breeding is still relatively low. In order to build modern agriculture and prosper the rural economy, we must accelerate the transformation of agricultural growth methods, and practically integrate agricultural development on the track of relying on scientific and technological progress and improving the quality of workers. The transfer of scientific and technological knowledge and production skills to farmers through the vast number of agricultural technical instructors is conducive to improving farmers' production skills and management levels, improving the comprehensive quality of agricultural workers, advancing the strategic adjustment of agricultural and rural economic structures, and improving the overall agricultural production capacity , Accelerate the construction of modern agriculture, and promote the comprehensive, coordinated and sustainable development of agriculture and the rural economy.
- It is expected that in the next 10 years, the demand for agricultural technical instructors will increase, and the total increase will exceed 20%. This profession has broad development prospects.
