Abstract:
Many land-grant universities are located in or near large urban centers. Currently at the University of Maryland, close to half of all undergraduates in agriculture have urban or suburban origins. Many turn out to be outstanding students. Colleges of agriculture are having to look more and more to these sources for their enrollees. Less than 5% of our population nationally live on farms and the trend is for even less. Therefore the historically typical source for most agriculture students is likely to produce even fewer students in the future.
