Why I chose Agriculture

-

               

Choosing the right course for College is indeed hard,as you have a lot of factors to consider in choosing the right course that you will take.  In my situation, I have to choose between my passion and being practical. Until I realize that Agriculture can bring me a lot of opportunities.

 1. Agriculture is fun.                     

Being in Agriculture can bring you a lot of fun of excitement as it allows you to experience new things such as driving a tractor or riding a cow, why not?!!!

2. Agriculture is everywhere

Wherever you go, you can see a lot of things that are directly related in Agriculture such as Rice fields, Corn fields,Live stocks.
And seeing these everyday makes your passion and love for Agriculture grow .

3. Agriculture brings you endless opportunities.

A lot of people do not prefer Agriculture because they believe that Agriculture cannot lead them to success instead they choose other industries/courses such as Medical and Engineering. But in reality, Agriculture offers endless opportunities that reaches through out the entire world. Yes, being Agriculture can give you a 6 or more digit salary too!.

Above are my three main reason why I chose Agriculture for college and I am proud being an Agristudent as George Washington said that ' Agriculture is the most healthful,most useful and most noble employment of man".

    I am a Licensed Agriculture since 2010 but until now I never experience to work in the Agri-related job. I have submitted many application letters to the Department of Agriculture, wishing for using my chosen profession, but it didn't work. Many licensed people also experience what I have been experiencing. Hence, my conclusion is: Agri course is not good! I am sorry for my words.

      Thank you for your insight. Thats a good suggestion for a person like me who will be getting a degree this year. I might as well go to grad school as soon as I finish taking the board.

Farmers are dying in the Philippines.

In other countries, Farmers are very rich, because their government prioritize them and supports them. Unlike the situation of our farmers today here in the Philippines Farmers are dying, Lack of Government Assistance This is so common with us, we are an Agricultural Country so why does the government do not prioritize our Agricultural sector, where our poor farmers belongs. Instead they  make our farmers even poorer, specially with the implementation of Rice Tariffication Law. To add, the Agricultural Sector of the country receives the  smallest portion of the national budget.  As a result, Agriculture is dying in our country. Agricultural lands are turned into industrialized areas. The government was not able to enrich the Agricultural Sector of our country. Our local farmers are dying. We are once the leading country in Agriculture but over the years other countries are now better than us, way much better.

Understanding why Millennials are turning their back towards Agriculture

Agriculture have played a major role in the development of our country , and everybody knows that. But as  time goes by, the key role  of  Agriculture is slowly fading in the perspective of many Filipinos, specially millennials.  An empty classroom, portraying the decreasing number of millennials involved in Agriculture. Peer pressure This is one of the many reasons  why millennials underestimates Agriculture. Because  they have grown into a misconception from their parents or relatives that taking an Agriculture course is not as noble compared to other courses such as nursing, accountancy and engineering. Little do they know that there are famous Filipinos who are Agriculturist or Agricultural Scientist,if not an Agricultural lawyer. Everybody underestimates Agriculture We all know that it has become a norm to us that if you are taking any related course in Agriculture automatically  it means that you are not good as anybody. Imagine you taking an Agriculture degree
