Did y'all know that agriculture is one of the highest in-demand jobs right now and that there are on average 2 ag jobs per graduating student every year with a median starting salary just under $60k?

Are you surprised that nobody wants to move to bumfuck Iowa to take these jobs?

Agribusinesses are losing money because nobody wants to work in the middle of nowhere, even if they're offering some of the highest starting salaries relative to cost of living. Coupled with most millennials' distrust for big ag (Monsanto, Dow, et al) and their insistence on small farming and organic bullshit and you have an industry that's getting in trouble.

Short of moving their HQs and offices away from rural Nebraska, Iowa, etc to metropoles like Chicago, St. Louis, Raleigh, etc, what can they do to fix their employment problem?

60k sounds like peanuts compared to what a big fram would be losing. Just make it 200k, people will come.

Once the recession starts, lots of people will be flooding to agriculture.

interesting, I'm writing a paper about the externalizes that currently exist subsequent to the Agribusiness super-industry. I'm 2000 words deep and I'm not pulling out.

>what can they do to fix their employment problem?
Uh. Seems like a simple supply and demand problem OP. Why move to iowa for 60k when i can make 55k in a suburb of a big city?

I was a software engineer in bumfuck Iowa.

Moved to Denver and got a 50% raise. Good times.

Shitty commute though.

Maybe if you are working minimum of 60 hour weeks

Grew up in rural iowa.
Only now in my 30s I realize I should have gone ag. Businessfags are making bank. Plus the jobs are sweet.

One of my buddies is a protien specialist for a major purchaser and marketer. His job consists of lots of awesome dinners, seminars about steak. And tours of farms and shit. Fucking awesome way to live. He makes decent money too.

I also know some dudes who work in ag equipment. Companies like Catipillar and John Deere, jobs ranging from engineers to sales or finance. All are doing well.

Also know a guy in crop insurance and he us legitimately fuck you rich.
