Anyone looking at key stats in agriculture know that change is coming. The average age of the American farmer tops 57, raising the question: "Who's taking over this business?"

There are new, younger farmers entering the business. They're working hard to be part of the industry and while some are joining the family operation, often bringing new business opportunities, others are first-generation farmers entering ag for the first time. Mindy Ward, Missouri Ruralist, shares some of those stories, and discusses a new project at Farm Progress focused on these next-generation farmers.
