I want to work in agriculture but University is not really an option for me. I've volunteered at various farms in different countries, one in particular was my ideal job. I worked with the animals every morning, maintained the grounds, planted new tree's and plants, pulled weeds and sometimes worked in the Musteri making apple cider, along with various jobs around the farm. My question is, for those without a degree how did you get into agriculture? Are there intern programs for adults

I've done WWOOF and I guess that could lead to a job but that's a shot in the dark

Literally use your experiences to build a resume, work as a farm manager.

I have friends who do that but generally speaking college education is very important to not be a worker unless your experiences show leadership and managerial capabilities.

Not OP but I've done it a few times. Mostly depends on how legit the farms you volunteer for are. I went to a mushroom farm in Germany and the people there expected me to work for 12 hours a day 6 days a week with ~1000 calories worth of food once a day. I left after two weeks (was supposed to stay for 2 months) and had to hitch hike to the nearest town because they refused to drive me to town. That was an adventure in itself. The rest of my experiences with WWOOF were really good though, just watch out for bad organizations

How far do you want to go?
Do you want run a farm someday?
Have an agriculture related job?
Be a "farm hand" for the rest of your life?
Try it for a couple of years?
how far are you willing to travel?
And how long are you willing to wait?

Don't fucking bother. The only thing you'll be able to profitably farm without coming from a rich family, is pot.
