Argument of Cons:
It would not be necessary for a farmer to pursue a degree, if they truly wish to become a farmer. The farmer should keep in mind that there is a whole bunch of student debt from going to college. Farmers do not make much compared to average, and so they will have a lot of trouble paying off all the debt.
Argument of Pros:
A farmer would benefit from a college education. There are many majors out there related to agriculture, which could potentially benefit the farmer. For instance, the farmer may major in agriculture, agricultural economics, animal science, conservation of natural resources, farmer science, principles of horticulture, farm management, or dairy science.
