With the U.S. job market in the crapper, and the college tuition through the roof, the next time you call a plumber to fix your crapper, don't be surprised if he has a genius I.Q. and your roofer goes to mensa meetings. Actually, there is a lot to know about farming and farmers often get education through farm extension programs and National Young Farmer Educational Association.
