Feeding West Michigan and the World
Did you know that Michigan is one of the most agriculturally diverse states in the nation—second only to California?
Due to our unique geography and climate, we produce products from potatoes to soybeans to asparagus. In fact, the eggs in your favorite fast-food breakfast sandwich probably came from West Michigan!
Agribusiness isn’t just growing crops and raising livestock. It also includes food science, production, quality control, packaging, marketing, and much more! With a growing workforce of 26,000 employees in West Michigan, there are great opportunities available for you in agribusiness!
West Michigan Works! is highlighting the agribusiness and IT industries March 22-26. Visit the industry spotlight page to register for the virtual agribusiness job fair, the IT professional networking event and learn more about these high-demand industries!
