Farming's bright future outlined by Kent County dairyman
Elton Smith, Michigan Farm Bureau president, says farming will grow as a dynamic industry expanding in many areas though the number of farms will decline. He debunks myths that farming is dying or unattractive to youth and cites agriculture becoming a broader "agri business" with jobs in seed and feed processing, pesticide distribution, machinery service, and plant and animal health sciences. He urges more young people to join the dynamic non farm agricultural sector feeding and clothing the nation.
