I have two sons. Oldest has his BS in international agriculture and econ. He works for corporate John Deere. He is halfway through his MBA Deere is giving him $15,000 a semester towards his schooling. He commented that they never can get enough good, trained "techs"
The youngest is starting year # 4 in the Navy. He is an EN (engine man), Works with the diesels, AC, damage control, refueling and on the VBSS team (Visit, board, search and seizure, Pirate hunter)
The Navy is giving him an early out since he is enrolled in a John Deere tech training school. He will get a two year Associates degree from Pittsburg State (KS). In conjunction with this, the John Deere school is just up the road. He had to get a John Deere dealership to sponsor him. When he is not in school, he will work at the dealership. The Navy is paying for the schooling. If it all works out, he will have his Associates degree and be a certified John Deere tech.
So both boys will work for Deere, just took different routes.
You might look into the Deere tech program. Although if you are looking towards a 4 year degree in ag., then consider looking into the AFA, Agriculture Future of America. Based in Kansas City, Mo. A philantrophy of United Missouri Bank. The AFA gives scholorships ($3,700), leadership training, and summer internships to students enrolled in 4 year ag programs. They are mostly in the midwestern states. AFA is a tremendous program. The oldest boy was involved in it all 4 years of school. Sure helped with the bills. Got some great internships and met tons of important folks in the ag. industry.
Do a Search for AFA, that applys to anyone with kids looking at ag school.

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
