cdowis Posted February 14, 2013 Posted February 14, 2013 Nobody wants to be a farmerInvestor Jim Rogers and Glenn Beck earlier today discussed the global decline in the number of people interested in pursuing farming as a professional career.“Nobody wants to [farm],” Beck said, referring to an earlier conversation he had with Rogers. “And it’s not just here — it’s around the entire world. Farming has become a lost art.”“The average age of farmers in America is 58,” Rogers noted. “In Japan, it’s 66. In Canada, it’s the oldest in recorded history. In Australia, it’s 58. In 10 years, those guys will be 68 (if they’re still alive). Somebody has got to go into the fields.”“More people in America study public relations than study agriculture,” he added. “We don’t have any farmers coming up.”http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/02/13/something-remarkable-is-happening-right-now-with-farmland-prices/
