Never has it been more important than now to invest in the next generation of Agriculture. Today, fewer than 2% of Americans farm and by 2050
the world will need 70% more food than is currently produced. Additionally consider that according to the Farm Journal Legacy Project, 70% of family-owned
farms & agri-businesses will fail to transition from the first to second generation. Of those that survive, 90% will fail to transition to a third
generation. And, of the meager few remaining, 96% will not make it to a fourth." With this data in mind, we must work hard to ignite a passion for agriculture in the next generation. Join our efforts to cultivate the future of Missouri agriculture.
