A study by the Missouri Agriculture Foundation and University of Missouri Extension is projecting 13,000 annual job openings in agriculture over the next decade.
MU Extension’s Mark White says Missouri’s ag industry is a mix of ag focused jobs like farming and jobs indirectly tied to ag, such as accounting.
“We have some jobs that are unique that we need to create a pipeline of talent for and other jobs that are in demand throughout the economy where we need to compete for those folks,” White said.
