Vocational Agriculture, Vital in Rural Schools
By F. W. Nicholas, Vo-Ag Instructor
During the past several months, you no doubt have been reading much about the lack of need for vocational agriculture in the rural high school. Conferences, committees, speakers and writers some with a lack of basic information, have focused on the situation, classifiedfarming as a dying occupation and proposed reductions in vocational education in agriculture. The sheer complexity of the situation in agriculture demands more and better agriculture education, not less of it. The adaptability of agricultural education during this decade must be commensurate with the challenging and rapidly shifting nature of our agricultural economy. Vocational agriculture as taught in the public high schools makes a major contribution in preparing individuals for careers in the total industry of agriculture. Until recent years agriculture and farming were synonymous terms. Farming is actually but one phase of agriculture and although the number of farmers and farm workers is likely to decrease, it will always be basic and important to the nation's economy.
