• Recently in Sioux City at the Feeding Quality Forum, Dan Basse, President of AgResource Company, provided his outlook on the future of world markets. Part 1

Employment prospects for farmers, ranchers, and production managers are expected to decline over the next seven years, with notable exceptions in organic farming, horticulture, and aquiculture. The overall outlook for careers in agriculture and food science is brighter—job growth in these areas is expected to keep pace with the average of other occupations in the United States.
