Abstract:
It is well-known that rural youth are in "surplus" for on-farm work, while the shortage of professionally trained agriculturists is acute. Few youth now living on farms will find an opportunity to farm. In 1964 Venn stated that only one of two youths now living on farms will farm in 1970. Schultz wrote in 1966, "Schools of agriculture are now graduating something over 9,000 trained persons per year, and it is estimated there are about 15,000 jobs available yearly for such persons in agriculture and food." Other regional and national surveys also indicate at least two jobs for each professionally trained agriculturist.
