[QUOTE="Dead Rabbits, post: 4493934, member: 70596"] Used to be ( I am told) a person went to college to learn critical thinking. My experience tells me those days are over. Colleges provide outdated information and thinking processes in reguards to agriculture. At a cost that is beyond my capabilities. College isn't necessarily a poor choice if you are wanting a future in farming, but it certainly ain't the best. Basic steps they might take? Read, read, read. Challenge yourself by reading opposing views and opinions to yours. Become proficient or well versed in a subject/s or skill outside of agriculture. Read some more. Travel. Join a discussion group. Visit as many farms as you can and talk to the people operating them ( especially the employees). Take a holistic management course. Then read. As said above accounting, business, finance, biology, ecology and chemistry courses are helpful in gaining a basic understanding of what you are to be managing. Pretty much everything I have listed involves investing in ones self. The return for time spent doing this is unmeasurable. [USER=321]@Walterp[/USER] what do you recommend?? [/QUOTE]
