Learning Outcomes

This unit of competency describes the skills and knowledge required to select and establish species, variety, yield potential and quality specification of crop or pasture, prepare a crop or pasture program, and review crop or pasture production plans. The unit applies to individuals who apply specialised skills and knowledge to the development of crop or pasture production plans, and take personal responsibility and exercise autonomy in undertaking complex work. They analyse and synthesise information, and analyse, design and communicate solutions to sometimes complex problems. All work must be carried out to comply with workplace procedures, health and safety in the workplace requirements, legislative and regulatory requirements, and sustainability and biosecurity practices. No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
