Think about it: Almost no one you went to school with went into agriculture as a career. I did, but I don't count. Yet, agriculture is about to be a HUGE boom. And we are running out of farmers. I attend a few of the very large farm shows in the last year. The average age of a farmer in the USA is 68. They are going to die or step aside soon. There are few behind them. We are running out of farmers. There are a lot of Hispanics that are picking up the guantlet. Troubling is of the hundred thousand attendees I saw in these shows almost NONE were people of color, no black Africans, Caribbeans or Americans. For some reason Black Agriculture globally is non existent except on a substance basis. This may explain the quandary of hunger in Africa and poverty in the Bahamas. This huge boom is going to leave millions behind because they have shunned in education and preparation what is about to become one of the economic miracles in the next decade. We have to reverse the adage to How you gonna keep them down in the city after they've seen the farm?
