I think you are starting from a flawed assumption: That there is a shortage of new farmers. If the trends of the past century hold out, the scale of farming will continue to grow, and smaller farms will be absorbed by larger ones. The only place where a young person might enter farming without a lot of backing will be in specialty areas such as truck farming where the cost of entry is reasonably low and you don't need a lot of land to have a profitable business. For grain farmers, it's going to be the children of the bigger operators who stay in the business; the others will cash out as long as land prices stay high.
