Some kids have always left farms for better jobs. A lot of kids do like farming, and enjoy carrying on very old family traditions. The documentaries I have seen are about the heartbreak that people feel when they lose their family farms. It would be nice for people to have options, and not be driven off their land and watch their farming equipment being sold. I think it is pathetic what banks, the government and agribusiness companies have done to make family farms unprofitable. Most people have more than one child, anyway. It is quite possible to keep family farms going and also allow children who feel like it to move away. A and B can both be true! The agricultural universities are still full of students studying agriculture--where are all these students coming from? Los Angeles? I don't think so!
