The farming industry is facing a number of challenges, including access to land and capital, student loan debt, access to healthcare, affordable housing, and the increasing impacts of climate change. These challenges are making it difficult for young people to enter the industry, and as a result, the average age of farmers is increasing.
There are a number of programs and resources available to help young farmers, such as mentorship programs, loans, and grants. However, it is still a difficult industry to enter, and it requires a lot of hard work, dedication, and financial sacrifice.
Despite the challenges, there are still many young people who are passionate about farming and want to continue the legacy of their families. These young farmers are the future of industry, and they are working hard to overcome challenges and make a living in agriculture.
