Each year there are fewer individuals actually involved in hands-on production. However, agriculture is one of our nation's largest employers. Ag-related careers are found in plant and animal science, food production, marketing, finance, economics, transportation, public policy, and environmental stewardship as well as human nutrition. It's a tremendous and rapidly growing job field with much variety for our young people. The next challenge is to help students realize that even though they are removed from the farm they will be the agricultural decision makers for the future of this nation and for the peoples of the world.
Agriculture is the foundation and the most important industry in the world.
