Missouri Governor Mike Parson says it’s important to get young people involved in agriculture. The governor personally delivered the October Pork Month Proclamation at the Missouri Department of Agriculture Monday. He commented afterward about the advancing average age of the state’s farmers.
“It’s tough for a young person to come in and financially go out here and buy a farm and buy equipment, buy livestock or row crops, whatever it might be,” the governor told reporters following the proclamation.
