New Ag Census Just Released
The new Ag Census tells us that more people went into farming in the past 5years. This is no surprize to me because I continue to meet these people at farm conferences. This is not only a trend in the U.S. but I just returned this week from Moncton, New Brunswick and met a couple of people who have done the same.
Of course, most people still must relay on their “day jobs” to support their farming interests. However, I am pleased to tell you that as farms embrace the concepts of agritourism they are increasing their revenues. Next week I will be speaking in both Hattiesburg, Mississippi and Red Deer, Alberta to further the education and skills for family farmers to succeed in agritourism.
Here is an article from last week’s New York Times that gives you more information collected from the 2007 U.S. Ag Census
