INTRODUCTION Agriculture is an important part of everyone's life, whether they realize it or not. Every day people come into contact with agricultural products such as food, clothing or housing. Over the years, a dramatic change has occurred in the agricultural sector. When farming first became an important part of people's lives, agriculture grew rapidly; many people farmed to be self-sufficient and be able to stay in one area instead of constantly moving in search of food sources. As time passed, agriculture transformed into what eventually became large commercial farms intended to provide food and other goods for an expanding country. Today, agricultural industries rely on large machines to minimize physical labor and produce as many goods as possible. Anyone who wants to work in an agricultural field must be willing and able to perform difficult physical tasks. Agriculture teachers must be prepared to teach their students about these different tasks, how to do them correctly, and be willing to help their students perform these tasks in the classroom. In addition to being dedicated to their students, an agriculture teacher must also have a passion for agriculture. A good agriculture teacher must be dedicated to his students and their work. People who have decided they want to become agriculture teachers are usually inspired by one of their own teachers, or they discover their interest on their own by working in an agricultural field. This article includes research from several articles by different agricultural educators.
