Too Long; Didn't Read
Amy A* is 24, a Millennial in every sense of the word, a graduate of the <em>Community College of Cantril Iowa</em>, and she is a farmer. Yes, you read that right. <strong>She is a 24 year old farmer in a country where there are 2.1 million farms, 88% are family owned and the average age of a farmer is 58.5 yrs</strong>. Industry consolidation had suggested that Amy, who had grown up on the farm her father ran, was not going to become a farmer. But she ended up at <em>Cantril College</em> and realized that the proliferation of technology across other heavy asset-based industries presented an opportunity for her family to maintain ownership of the farm and land.
