Getting people to care about agriculture is tough, but getting them to farm is an even harder sell. In the U.S. less than one percent of the population now claims “farming” as their profession, and according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the estimated living expenses for an average farm family exceeds $47,000, yet fewer than one in four farms in the U.S. earns more than $50,000.
