Abstract:
A survey of 137 students enrolled in high school agricultural education programs in South Florida indicates that Hispanic students have greater barriers to higher education and more negative perceptions about agriculture than their non-Hispanic counterparts. Hispanic students believed that they encountered, or will encounter, more barriers when applying for admission to college. These students also tend to have a more negative perception of agriculture and are less likely to pursue a career in an agriculturally-related field.
