现代农业教育概述

如果我们想生活在一个世界的世界中，您知道农民的儿子和女儿会像老师，建筑师，水管工和医生一样成长。我们做。 其他人必须替换。 我们确实想这样做缩进的奴役。对。is a newer, that is not how we’ve done things. Farming has been passed down intergenerationally and not taught as a profession.

Sure. And so I think part of it, the thing that you’re seeing with these place-based programs is how do you make something more professionalized in terms of the delivery mechanism for learning how to do it, like when we want more lawyers, we send them to law school, and you can kind of send someone to farm school. Ten years ago, you couldn’t really.

是的。And now you kind of can. And even though I ran a farm school I’m like, it’s not exactly like- Yeah and- Well, it would be better if it was more like as robust as medical school and you had, like, more learning and more practice doing before someone was like, (snaps fingers) make it happen. Yeah right and make a business, and make money on something that typically you get haggled for at best when you’re trying to price something out, right?

So you’re like, “I’m selling these radishes for four bucks a bunch,” and they’re like, “How about two bucks,” and I’m like, “Really, would you go, like, to any other business and just try to haggle down their price,” right? No. No. Yeah, yeah. Like, there’s so many stereo, yeah Would you take fifty percent off? No. It just doesn’t work. It’s just an unreal, an unreasonable offer. It just, it isn’t even in the realm of possibility. Yeah, that’s a really good point.

而且，是否有一个均等定价的机会，您知道，向农民支付谋生工资，但是直到我们到达那里之前，我们真的很难说服人们进入农业。只是。我认为这是美国的期望问题。很大程度上围绕着我们的价格，我们为食物支付的价格。因此，我们期望食物应该非常便宜。因此，很难将外部性内部化。就像许多环境后果一样，我们确实想要最便宜的牛奶或牛肉，或者您知道我们能得到的生菜。

而且我认为这与环境方面的需求和农民经济需求是不平衡的。我认为我们可以做到这一点。我们可以以不同的方式解决这一问题，无论是在政策问题级别，补贴级别，但正确。您不能平衡方程式和您所说的方式，我们希望一切尽可能便宜，但我们不希望它破坏地球。您知道，这些事情可能不可能以这种方式在一起。您在哪里到达年轻一代？

就像，我认为一旦您到达这里，就有机会扩展，但是当他们五岁，10岁并建立兴趣时，您如何与他们联系，这在他们的身份中根深蒂固。如果您向M巡回赛，您说，您有多少高中指导顾问说，嘿，您知道，您真的很聪明。您真的很擅长许多不同的事情。你？我认为你应该耕种。您有一天会成为一个很棒的农民。 因为那是您需要的技能，，但我认为没有人会得到这一职业建议。我并不是说他们应该得到这些建议。

我认为这只是思考我们的生活，仍在发展，尚未发展到我们需要的地方的一种方式，即我们如何看待谁种植我们的食物以及如何成长。是的。我有一个非常有趣的，，我招募了M和和平队已经在U的U招募了几年，喜欢思考，好吧，谁会进入农业部门，您没有那个人可以得到。Anybody that you could get? And there isn’t that person that’s like, “I get a degree”. So then I I’m finding myself asking people, did you grow up on a farm?

Because if you grew up on a farm, you’ve got 10 plus years of experience, and you’re already qualified to be an ag volunteer wherever versus someone that’s like coming in and like, no, but I’ve, I grew a garden once or twice, or like, I’m trying to study it. Like, how do you make up for that 10 years of experience? Right? There is a whole thing at MSU where we thought about having a program, because a lot of MSU undergrads that are going to the Peace Corps want to do ag for a couple of different reasons, but a lot of them don’t have any experience.

因此，我们就像，我们有点需要像和平队为AG志愿者提供的和平的训练营，您知道，只是为了让他们喜欢，有一些类似的经验。在科罗拉多州类似，像土地格兰特·阿农大学一样，，但是像学生一样，不一定具有这种经验。
