At the University of Saskatchewan, I guest lecture third- and fourth-year ag-economics students, and a big thing is attitude. It's hard for them in the third and fourth year. Just two weeks ago I asked the fourth-year students how many of them were going home to the farm, and out of the 70 there, two were going back to the farm. That's unnerving to me. I did ask why, and part of it is attitude. We foster the environment of handouts, and agriculture over the past five years has been really negative; look at your negative farm income.
So it's difficult for those kids to see a promising career back home on the farm. We need to change the attitude.
