Our Future
Agriculture, “​the science or practice of farming, including cultivation of the soil for 

the growing of crops and the rearing of animals to provide food, wool, and other 

products”, plays a huge role in the lives of many. The future of agriculture depends on 

us youth, and what we do to continue to build agricultural futures. As technology 

continues to advance, the business that we all cherish will become bigger and better. 

The way we use our knowledge and skills needed for agriculture deeply affects the 

future. Working harder to make more industries and businesses will help to produce 

more of what we need. Industries such as crops, raising animals, logging, ranches, etc. 

all require certain skills and determination to succeed. Skills needed include time 

management to be able to manage your crops, animals, and more in a timely matter, 

people skills to participate in business situations, critical thinking skills to propose new 

ideas to ameliorate manufacturers.  

Determination plays a huge role in skill sets needed to succeed in the agricultural 

field, not giving up and keeping your ‘eyes on the prize’ can greatly increase profits and 

prosperity. To grasp these skills, hard work and dedication apply along with agricultural 

education. Determination is a skill showing dedication to what you are focusing on. As 

you keep your head focused on your goal, you will succeed along the way. Examples 

included with determination could be if you are involved with something such as FFA or 

4-H you need to have determination to put yourself ahead in a project or show coming 

up. This skill shows others you are serious about your goals and future. This can benefit 
the future of our agriculture world. Having more determined people pushing themselves 

for a better future will allow the industries to keep progressively getting better and more 

successful as others look to those who are determined to get the job done. This skill 

plays hand in hand with time management. 

Time management skills can come in handy when you are involved in 

more than one club or have too much on your plate. Scheduling and planning out your 

plans can benefit you greatly. An example as a highschool student who is currently 

involved in FFA, time management can help you when you are also involved with sports 

and have a job, but still need to be active in your FFA chapter. You need to plan ahead 

so none of your activities clash. Planning ahead is one factor that can allow people to 

allow themselves to succeed in all of their goals. Knowing exactly when each thing you 

need to do a certain job or project will help you in planning out all of your tasks to help 

you become successful. In the agricultural world industries, such as raising animals, 

managing your time can play a big role. You must know when to feed your animals, 

when to get more feed, or maybe allowing yourself enough time to get them ready for a 

show. In all aspects of agricultural, time management is needed and greatly affects how 

you perform in these industries.  

People skills are greatly needed when it comes to agriculture. Businesses need 

people to keep themselves afloat and the only way that is possible is being able to give 

people what they need and want in a way that benefits you. Communication with others 

and being able to inform them on what you do and why you do it can increase profit and 

can lead to benefits for your industry. Teaching people skills to younger students will 
allow more success for them as they put themselves in these agricultural industries. 

Already a lot of the youth has lost many people or social skills that they need to benefit 

them due to technology. To keep businesses alive that thrive today teaching them the 

right way to handle situations dealing with others, whether that be for business or a 

contest for FFA can improve the way they handle their future. 

We need to teach the youth more ways and how they can learn and apply these 

skills so they can become successful for not just their future, but for everyone's. The 

youth is our future and can learn these skills and knowledge for a success. They can 

learn these skills by involving themselves in youth organizations such as 4-H and FFA, 

and taking classes that their schools offer while using their brain power to create new 

solutions to problems in the agricultural world. Us young entrepreneurs are the future. 

We must put our expertise and understanding on agriculture and the skills needed to 

our best ability and make change. Working together to make industries and 

manufacturers grow will lead us to better change along with better chances for a better 

tomorrow.
