Abstract:
The population of the United States is increasingly becoming more diversified. Historically, minorities have participated less than Whites in agricultural careers other than as laborers. Secondary agricultural education has traditionally provided entry-level preparation for agricultural careers as well as prepared students for post-secondary education in agriculture. First semester agriscience students in Texas high schools were surveyed on their attitudes toward agricultural careers. The purpose of this article is to detail how minority students in these programs view agriculture and its careers.
Keywords:
